Ninja Challenge League Youth Finals 2023

The Ninja Challenge League Youth Finals is the culmination of a season of qualifiers across Australia, bringing together the top youth athletes from across the country to test their skills, develop their abilities, and socialise with fellow ninja enthusiasts.

Competitors who have qualified at an event this season will compete on Wednesday, October 4 and Thursday, October 5 at The Compound Training Bayswater in Melbourne, Victoria.

As with the regular season, youth competitors will be split into four different divisions based on year of birth:

KIDS: Born 2015-16

MATURE KIDS: Born 2013-14

PRE-TEENS: Born 2011-12

TEENS: Born 2009-10

Rules & Format

Competitors must complete each stage within the designated time limit (where applicable), beginning with Stage One to progress to the next stage.

If less than 20 competitors in an age division clear Stage One, then as many non-finishers as needed to reach 20 competitors will advance to Stage Two for unofficial runs, based on furthest-fastest on Stage One.

If less than 5 competitors in an age division clear Stage Two, then as many non-finishers as needed to reach 5 competitors will advance to Stage Three for unofficial runs, based on furthest-fastest on Stage Two.

An asterisk next to a competitor’s name in the run order indicates an unofficial run.

The course for the Finals stages will be revealed on the morning of the first day of the competition.

Competitors will not be allowed to practice any part of the course unless otherwise specified on the day.

The run order for ALL STAGES will be determined by how many points competitors scored at events throughout the year, with the highest scoring competitors running later in the day.
