This challenging competition series is back for Season 10!
We strive to offer an experience that is as close to a real run on American Ninja Warrior as you can get!
Traverse is currently the only ninja gym in Northern California approved to host WNL competitions.​
Like last year, we will also be hosting the WNL Regionals this May, so if you and/or your child dare to dream of
being on the big show one day, attending the World Ninja League finals in 2025 would be a fantastic stepping stone,
and it can all happen here at Traverse!

We are thrilled to announce the fourth season of the Bay Area Ninja League (BANL)!
​
Each gym will be hosting one competition on the dates above. Each competition includes two full courses! These courses will be designed and built to test each athlete's skill at overcoming obstacles, and have individual time limits, but the format makes it beginner-friendly, so if you love American Ninja Warrior and dream of being on the show one day this is a great way to start your journey!
​​
These competitions will be for all experience levels, with eight total divisions: 6-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-17, Adult (18+), Masters (40+), and Elite. For the first time ever, Elite is open to all ages, but be warned that it will have adult-sized obstacles and a much shorter time limit than the other divisions! For all other divisions ​- your athlete's age on September 15th 2024 will determine their age division for the whole Season; even if they have a birthday later.
You can only change divisions between your age division and Elite, and points already
earned won't transfer, but they do stay with each athlete, so you can always switch back.
Example: an 11yo athlete decides to compete in the Elite division in the first comp, and it ends up being more than they bargained for - They can switch divisions to compete in 11-12 division at future comps, but will start with 0 points towards qualifying for Finals in that 13-14 division.
​
12 points total are needed to qualify for the finals at Traverse:​
Competitors don't need to compete at every tournament, but each competitor will need to score 12 points to qualify for the Finals at Traverse. Each competition will have two obstacle courses with an individual time limit. Each course has 6 obstacles, and athletes will score one point for every completed obstacle. There is no limit to falls - if you fall, keep going until you have attempted every obstacle or run out of time. This is why our BANL comps are such a hit with new ninjas! It is possible to score all 12 points in a single qualifier, with two perfect runs on two obstacle courses. However, this is as challenging as it sounds, so if your athlete dreams of competing in the Finals at Traverse, we recommend planning to compete at least twice.
NO TRYOUTS ARE NEEDED - anyone who is age 6+ can register to compete.
Divisions will run in separate heats, so look for an email in the last few days with your athletes exact run time (younger athletes run early, Elites run last). All families are welcome to come earlier than their heat to strategize/cheer and stay later to watch the Elites fly through the course!
​
We recommend bringing your best athletic shoes, layered athletic clothing, and a water bottle.
