ADAPTIVE NINJA OBSTACLE TRAINING
The Adaptive Ninja Obstacle Program is designed to promote physical, social, and cognitive development through purposeful movement. This specialized class provides a supportive environment with a low student-to-coach ratio, allowing for highly individualized attention.
Our program is tailored specifically for athletes with physical, sensory, neurodivergent, or communication-related needs who thrive with extra assistance. By maintaining a small class size, our coaches ensure that every student can learn, progress, and celebrate success at their own pace in accordance with their unique abilities.
Program Expectations & Focus:
- Individualized Pace: Developing strength, coordination, and confidence through tailored obstacle paths.
- Basic Group Participation: Navigating the gym safely by listening to coaches and following group instructions.
- Collaborative Support: Parent assistance, which can be customized based on each child's specific needs.
- Social and Cognitive Growth: Building peer connections, turn-taking skills, and body awareness through active play.

TRANSITIONAL NINJA
Parent-guided class designed for children ages 2.9-4.11 that may need a supportive environment where a parent is able to accompany their little one to help tackle fun obstacles side-by-side. This class is appropriate for toddlers who have a diagnosis where additional support is needed in order to complete class successfully. This class would also be appropriate for toddlers having difficulty attending an independent class without the support of a parent.
This class curriculum is also a great class for toddlers needing support while transitioning from parent-led class to an independent Pre-ninja class.
Whether your toddler needs help building confidence or is looking for a supportive stepping stone as they transition into our independent Pre-Ninja classes, we are here to celebrate every little victory together!
Help your little one tackle fun obstacles side-by-side! This parent-guided class is designed for children who thrive with a loved one by their side. It is the perfect fit for:
- Neurodiverse toddlers or those with a diagnosis requiring extra support.
- Children building confidence who aren't quite ready for independent classes.
- A stepping stone for toddlers transitioning from parent-led classes to our independent Pre-Ninja program.
Whether your child needs a helping hand or a gentle confidence boost, we are here to celebrate every little victory together!

ADAPTIVE NINJA 2
40 Minute Class
Our
Structured Skills class is the natural next step for athletes who are ready for a bit more routine and can follow simple, multi-step instructions. While still highly accommodating and supportive, this level introduces a predictable class format to help students bridge the gap between open exploration and structured learning.
Our coaching staff provides a nurturing environment with clear visual cues and consistent routines. This helps athletes build physical independence, cooperative social skills, and a deeper understanding of ninja techniques.
Program Highlights:
- Predictable Structure: Navigating a consistent class flow that includes a group warm-up, guided station rotations, and a cool-down.
- Skill Sequencing: Learning to connect two or three movements together, such as stepping across balance blocks followed by a safe landing.
- Instructional Listening: Practicing listening to short, direct coach instructions and waiting for a turn alongside peers.
- Physical Independence: Encouraging athletes to attempt obstacles with less hands-on assistance, boosting their confidence and self-reliance.
Participation Details:
- Transitioning Parent Support: While parents and caregivers remain nearby for comfort and safety, coaches will gently encourage athletes to complete tasks independently to foster autonomy.
- Is Your Child Ready? If your athlete can follow simple 1-to-2 step directions and is comfortable moving away from a parent for short periods, this class is the perfect fit.
