Ages: 5 & up
Why Ninja?
Ninja has quickly become one of the fastest growing sports across the country for kids and adults. Imagine a workout that combines intense physical activity and endless challenge with enjoyment and thrill!
Welcome to QUEEN CITY NINJA.
Ninja provides an environment that embraces struggle and challenge while inspiring, encouraging, and teaching athletes to persevere. Unique to Ninja, our approach offers athletes the opportunity to creatively problem solve through challenges, leading to confident kids who can think through difficult obstacles in the gym and in life.
Progressive Lesson Plans
Our curriculum has been designed to progressively teach athletes how to swing, climb, jump, and balance safely and with confidence. By teaching ninjas to embrace life’s struggles (rather than removing them), we are building strength and independence that will last well beyond the gym.
Our youngest age groups follow our FLY Kids curriculum that introduces techniques and skills in Ninja and overall fitness. From there they can advance into our Queen City Aces program that pushes students while giving them the encouragement and coaching required for greatness.
In both Queen City Ninja & Fly Kids, students will face challenges that seem impossible. They may fail at obstacles more times than they succeed. They may be knocked down, burnt out, and pushed out of their comfort zone…and each time they will have a supportive Ninja coach encouraging and supporting them to get up and try again.

Department Leader
REECE O'HARA
Reece has been with Kids First his entire life, as both of his parents coached and led Kids First departments when he was young. He began working at Kids First in 2014 in the Tumble Bee department and quickly grew to become a favorite teacher amongst parents for his high energy, warm spirit, humor and caring heart.
Reece has been integral to the development of the Fly Kids curriculum and took a lead role during our planning phase in creating a positive learning environment for the ninjas of Fly Kids. Through research and training, Reece has helped create progressive lesson plans that build strong, capable and confident kids. He has also been the driver behind the expansion of FLY Kids into Queen City Ninja with the overall goal of building a positive, hardworking community for everyone!
Reece has been a valuable asset in the Tumble Bee department, serving as a training coordinator and activity planner for the past year. His ability to connect with new instructors will be instrumental in developing top notch coaches for the Queen City Ninja program.
