NinjaZone® at the Dover YMCA in Dover, Delaware is a high-energy kids program that blends gymnastics, parkour, tricking, and warrior-style training to build strength, agility, confidence, and character. In a fun, structured environment, ninjas develop coordination, creativity, collaboration, and resilience while learning to take on new challenges.
With 10 levels to complete, ninjas earn points as they master skills and demonstrate core values. Once enough points are earned, they complete their Mission and level up, receiving their next colored headband — and shirt when applicable.
NinjaZone classes are more than just a weekly workout. Our coaches intentionally invest in each ninja, helping build confidence, character, and respect for self and others. The official NinjaZone uniform is required and helps set the tone for focused training and serious fun.

School Age NinjaZone
Ages 5 – 12 years
NinjaZone® classes for school-age kids are a unique blend of athletic training and character-building. Each class challenges kids to move through obstacle courses while developing agility, strength, coordination, and focus.
Ninjas advance through the program by mastering skills and demonstrating the core values outlined in the NinjaZone Creed. Progress is tracked through a color-level system shown on each ninja’s uniform, including headbands and shirts. Kids are encouraged to set goals, build confidence, and level up their skills during special Mission Ceremonies that celebrate effort, growth, and achievement.
