NinjaCOR at the Centre
NinjaCOR is closed for all classes and open gyms on Saturday 4/4/26.
We aim to create an environment where children feel empowered to take risks, overcome challenges, and discover valuable life lessons through fundamental athletics, all while attempting to eliminate the fear of failing. Our programs build self-confidence, problem-solving skills, and determination to persevere—qualities that help kids navigate life both on and off the course.
Through positive motivation and celebration of every success, we inspire each child to grow stronger, braver, and more resilient. We strive to make NinjaCOR an organization that every kid wants to be part of. We have high expectations of our staff and athletes and will celebrate every effort. Our passion is contagious, and we strive to enrich the lives of kids while strengthening the community around them.
Routine Builds Confidence Children thrive when they have structure and consistency. Clear routines, rules, expectations, and boundaries help them feel safe, secure, and in control. When kids know what to expect and understand what’s expected of them, they grow more confident, capable, and ready to take on challenges. At NinjaCOR, we strive to enrich kids’ lives by combining structure with encouragement, helping every child discover resilience, independence, and joy in their journey while becoming a Playground Allstar.
**Please note that sneakers are required for ALL ninja participation!

“Ninja has been game-changing for our six-year-old son, Jake. Before he joined the class, he tended to be overly cautious in new experiences. Ninja has significantly expanded Jake’s confidence and greatly improved his physical strength & agility. Coach Brett’s instruction has helped Jake gain important skills around facing challenges and building perseverance. The course is constantly changing, so he’s learned new & exciting ways to navigate his physical world, while having the best time ever. Jake says Ninja is his “favorite sport “and we are so grateful to Coach Brett and the Ninja Program for providing a safe & fun way for our son to become stronger and more confident in the world.” Colleen G.
