What is the USANC League?

USA Ninja Challenge hosts an exciting ninja obstacle racing competition league that spans coast to coast across the United States, allowing our qualified Ninja athletes the opportunity to compete against hundreds of other exclusive USANC competitors in their respective divisions locally, regionally, and nationally each year. Our league provides commonsense rules, enabling fairness throughout age brackets, which fosters stronger cooperation among our over 40 locations nationwide. 

Annual National competitions are held at select USA Ninja Challenge locations that can accommodate the crowds and athletes.  Qualification rules and regulations can be found on our Competition League website.

While Ninja is an individual sport, there are many benefits to becoming a team member.  Ninja team members will experience training that goes far above regular ninja classes.  They will be taught time-saving obstacle techniques, undergo upper body, core and grip strength conditioning and learn the concepts of teamwork, respect and sportsmanship associated with team sports.

Qualifications to Join the Ninja Team:‍

   1.     Be at least 6 years old.

   2.     Complete Ninja Level 1 (yellow).

   3.     Be available to attend team workouts twice per week for one and ½ hours.

   4.     Attend a minimum of 5 weeks during the summer session (July – August).

   5.     Commit to attending (and traveling to) 4 to 6 Ninja competitions per year.

   6.     Commit to attending Regional and National competitions, if qualified.

   7.     Keep tuition current.

Team is a year-round commitment.   Participation should be based on a family decision.  Your child will be expected to attend all competitions to contribute to the team effort.

Participation on team is by invitation only.  If your child is interested in competition, a trial week can be arranged for your ninja, followed by a meeting to discuss his/her possible acceptance to the competitive team.
