A high-energy fusion of parkour, gymnastics, obstacle training and ninja skills
The Skylark Ninja program is a unique, skill-based, high-energy program designed specifically for kids. Each class is a fusion of parkour, gymnastics, trampolining and ninja techniques.
We work on FOCUS, FUN and FITNESS.
Using our unique journey progression system, Ninjas will develop skills, conquer challenges and elude imaginary opponents. They learn to go over, under, around or through any obstacle in their path, both physical and psychological. Ninja is more than just building physical skills. In each class you will see your ninja developing respect, discipline and character.
Age-based classes mean that children can participate with peers, allowing them to build friendships and become part of a community. Our qualified coaches challenge each child to build on their previous best and foster a healthy relationship with exercise.

Have Questions About Ninja Classes at Skylark Sports?

What actually happens in a Ninja class?
Ninja is a fusion of parkour, gymnastics, trampolining and obstacle training. Depending on age and stage, that means running, jumping, climbing, swinging, vaults, wall runs, precision jumps, obstacle combinations and aerial skills. We build around Focus, Fun and Fitness – children are encouraged to challenge themselves, work out how to solve a movement problem, and enjoy it.
Is it dangerous?
Ninja is designed to teach children to move safely and creatively through physical challenges – the point is building movement control, not taking risks. Coaches use structured progressions, our equipment and matting are set up for the skills being taught, and children work on challenges pitched to their stage. Learning to judge and manage a physical challenge is one of the most useful things a child takes away from the program.
Do girls do Ninja?
Absolutely! Ninja is for everyone. We welcome both girls and boys into our Ninja programs, and our coaching team includes both male and female coaches. Whether your child loves climbing, jumping, swinging or tackling obstacle courses, our classes are designed to help every child build strength, coordination, confidence and have fun in a supportive and encouraging environment.
