Competitive Team


Join us in the journey…our kids are paving the way in making Ninja Warrior Athletics a sustainable sport! Is your kid ready to join the WCN Competitive Team???

Your child(ren) will have opportunities to compete in national leagues (UNAA and NNL) and also internal competitions.  We’re excited to offer your child/athlete the opportunity to participate on the WCN Competitive Team!

Weekly Time Commitment and Class Fees
The advantages of being a competitive team member go beyond the experience of competition! At WCN, we are committed to all our athletes and their growth and success both physically and emotionally.

  • Team members will participate in 2/3 classes per week: 1 regular/advanced class and one competitive team practice is the requirement. There are two competitive team practice options per week. While one team session weekly is required, team members can participate in more than one if interested! Additionally, if a team member cannot participate in an competitive team practice due to schedule conflicts that week, they may participate in another regular/advanced class for their age.
  • The monthly fee for the competitive team is $250. As mentioned, team members can attend both competitive team practices per week and one regular/advanced class in any given week. 

Competitive Team Practices
These classes will have more focus on completing courses with precision, skills of the week, conditioning, along with creating mindful discipline and leadership. We have two class times available for our Competitive Team practice, Tue – 6:00-7:15 and Thur – 6:00-7:15. 

Competition Time Commitment
Windy City Ninjas will be asking all team members to commit to at least 2 competitions per season. Please review the competition schedule to date. We realize travel commitments for competitions out of town are a lot to ask and are mindful of this, we simply ask that you make every effort to have your child participate in at least two competitions. Also note that Windy City Ninjas will be hosting internal competitions and UNAA competitions!

Additional Monthly Competitive/Travel Team Offerings:
WCN will be hosting additional advanced sessions from time to time, i.e. course training and course testing days. These are not a requirement for the Competitive/Travel Team, but we highly encourage all team members to participate in these course testing and training sessions whenever possible.

Age Requirement
The minimum competition age is 7 years old, but 6 years-olds are welcome to compete as well assuming they are a good listener, excited to compete, and a hard worker.

Apparel Requirement
All athletes will be required to purchase a Windy City Ninjas Competitive Team t-shirt (cost of $20).
