The National Ninja League is a non-profit dedicated to growing Ninja as a sport. We offer opportunities for all ages and skill levels to get involved in this rapidly growing sport! To decide what string of competitions is best for you follow the four steps below! 

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.

Step 2: Fill out our Waiver & Join our Mailing List

Filling out our waiver will automatically place you on our mailing list. This will allow you to stay up to date with upcoming events and league news!

Step 3: Decide if the Rec Ninja League or National Ninja League competitions are better for you.

The National Ninja League (NNL) Comps are an elite series of competitions culminating in a World Championship event. Use the table below to decide if the NNL is perfect for you!
The Rec Ninja League (RNL) events are designed to prepare the Beginner Ninjas for Advanced competition. Athletes will face beginner obstacles designed to build the strength and coordination needed for high level competitions. Use the table below to decide if the Rec Ninja League is good for you!

Scoring
NNL comp winners are determined by the athletes that complete the most obstacles in a row without failing.

If mutiple athletes complete the same number of obstacles the athletes with the fastest times will place higher.
Individual rec comps will not offer any opportunity to podium. However, 1 point is awarded for completing each obstacle. 5 bonus points will be awarded if the athlete can complete all 10 obstacles in succession.
Fails
Athletes scoring will stop when they fail to complete an obstacle.
Athletes will continue to gain points regardless of the number of obstacles they missed. 

Step 4: Locate  Rec or NNL Competitions in your region.

We divided the country into 8 regions to help you easily find competitions near you! Check the regional maps to find your schedule. 

Step 5: Register for a compeition through the hosting facilities website.
