What is a Tier 1 World Ninja League Competition?

A Tier 1 WNL Competition is the next step up from Tier 2 and is designed for ninjas who are ready for a more competitive challenge. While still open to all athletes, Tier 1 events typically attract ninjas who have prior experience, whether from classes or are on a team.

Tier 1 competitions feature more advanced obstacle courses, demanding greater skill, speed, and strategy. Athletes are tested not only on their strength and agility but also on their ability to perform under pressure against other skilled competitors.

​

These events are perfect for athletes who want to:

• Compete in a higher-level, competitive environment.

• Test themselves on more challenging obstacles.

• Gain valuable experience toward progressing in the WNL system.

• Pursue the opportunity to qualify for Regional and World Championships.

Why Compete?

Tier 1 competitions are where dedication meets opportunity. They give athletes the chance to:

If Tier 2 is the introduction to ninja competition, Tier 1 is where ninjas truly prove their skills and prepare for the road to Regionals and Worlds.
