Step 1: Get Your Athlete ID

Each competitor who competes in the National Ninja League or the Rec Ninja League is assigned a unique NinjaWorks Athlete ID. This six-digit ID allows you to register for competitions, and allows all of your competition results to be tracked together. You'll also be asked for your Athlete ID when you sign our waiver.
