Lil Ninja Academy is more than free play or single session drop-offs. We have term classes that build on your child’s ability. Each term we concentrate on building on the child’s potential developing different aspects of gross motor skills. Each class we take two key aspects (Swinging, Climbing, Jumping, Movement, Transitions, and Balancing) and focus on technique, strength, and stamina. Each class builds on the skills learned previously. We do check the student’s abilities and challenge them according to their level and growth.
For classes catering to kids 6 and below, the class is for 60 minutes. For kids classes ages 6 and older. Classes are 75 minutes. To track the child’s learning experience, we have term classes that run weekly. One term is 4 weeks. At the end of each class, a report card is issued to let the child know where their strengths are, and the areas for Improvement.
Booking a trial class is easy. Just check our schedule and the right age group class for your child and you can book online or message us and we can help you book. We will assess your child’s skills and run the class based on your child’s performance and comfort level to certain obstacles and skills.

Independent weekly classes begin at the age of 4 and progress till 12+ years old.
We also offer freestyle, Obstacle course racing classes teens age 12 onward. These camp-style sessions are offered monthly or as demand as needed. Our classes and curriculums are designed with all ages and body types in mind. We start small and build progressively to maintain positive improvements and safety.
While there is no guarantee for no injury whatsoever, we purposefully designed our facility to make climbing, tumbling, parkour and freestyle more accessible to people of all ages and body types. The most important factor of our motorskills development program is to make sure your child is well prepared to avoid injury. We do this by teaching safe falls, such as shoulder rolls and push offs. By climbing, jumping, and landing correctly with proper style to arrest a fall to prevent injury.
