What is the USANC League?

USA Ninja Challenge hosts an exciting ninja obstacle racing competition league that spans coast to coast across the United States, allowing our qualified Ninja athletes the opportunity to compete against hundreds of other exclusive USANC competitors in their respective divisions locally, regionally, and nationally each year. Our league provides commonsense rules, enabling fairness throughout age brackets, which fosters stronger cooperation among our over 40 locations nationwide. 

Annual National competitions are held at select USA Ninja Challenge locations that can accommodate the crowds and athletes.  Qualification rules and regulations can be found on our Competition League website.


USA Ninja Challenge competitions involve children of different ages negotiating obstacle courses containing challenges in the categories of jumping, climbing, swinging, traversing, balance and floor skills.  Ninjas compete at different age and skill levels.

Competitors “race” the clock to finish the courses in their best time.  A judging system in employed to track time penalties throughout each course.

Many competitions also offer “Side Missions” which are individual obstacle challenges for best times or greatest distances.  There are even head-to-head races!

A skill level progression system has been devised to challenge children of different abilities and create mobility by providing step-by-step successes. This system also creates parity in competition and teaches children how to set and attain goals.

Franchise clubs have the option to send competitors to events in their local area and also at the state, regional and national levels.
