Frequently Asked Questions

✅ Ninja Warrior is a unique sport that challenges participants in fun obstacle courses and dynamic activities inspired by the popular American Ninja Warrior TV show. At Forest Flyers Ninja, we offer structured classes with certified instructors to guide children through obstacles that are designed to foster strength, develop skills, and gain self-confidence.

✅ Everyone! Currently, classes at Forest Flyers Ninja are designed for children ages 3-17, though the course itself is suitable for all ages. Our top priority is providing an exceptional experience for kids, and once that’s running smoothly, we’ll gladly explore expanding to adults if there’s community interest. 

✅ Yes! Our classes are open to children of all abilities and mindsets— no prior experience necessary. The most important quality for a ninja warrior is a growth mindset—not physical ability, talent, or strength. 

✅ Children will swing, jump, roll, balance, and traverse through obstacles like angled steps, warped walls, monkey bars, rings, and much more. Classes will be held in 40 or 50-minute sessions once a week and grouped by age. Ninjas will progress through our 6-level curriculum in classes with a maximum ratio of 10 students per certified instructor.

✅ Forest Flyers Ninja has open enrollment for our rec classes all year round. When your child is ready to get their ninja on, you can sign them up and get them onto the obstacles. The system will prorate your initial tuition for the remaining classes remaining in the month. Tuition is billed on the 20th of the current month for the next month’s tuition. Your child will stay enrolled until you notify us through email, in person, or drop through the customer portal.

✅ Ninja Warrior is an individual sport, taught in group classes. At our facility, ninjas will have the opportunity to take on new challenges while surrounded by friends and instructors who cheer them on and celebrate milestones! ‘You versus you’ is a fitting mentality. 

That said, Forest Flyers Ninja Academy does have a competitive league (Sport Team) which launched by invite only in November 2025.

1. Owners will consider the National Weather Service, local weather reports, and local law enforcement recommendations related to weather warnings, watches, and alerts and determine closures and/or delays.  
2. Staff and ninja members impacted by any closures and/or delays will be notified of the changes. Communication will come through any or all of the following: email, text, phone call, social media. 
3. Ninja members impacted by inclement weather will receive a make-up token. Maximum of 2 tokens per month. Tokens expire in three months. A make-up token can be used to schedule into another class (make-up class). Members must pre-register for a make-up class. All make-ups are a courtesy if space is available.
