Elmhurst Elite Team
What is the Ultimate Ninjas Elite Team?
A group of hard working ninjas who train together, push each other, get stronger, and compete in ninja competitions. The Elite team focuses on training much harder to improve on individual obstacles and strategy as we start running longer and more difficult courses.
Goals of the Ninja Elite Team
| 1 | Develop better skill and technique on single obstacles by breaking each down and learning why certain body positions work better than others |
| 2 | Get stronger with tougher practices and build the muscle necessary to take on some of the most difficult obstacles like the salmon ladder |
| 3 | Improve strategy for tackling multiple obstacles in a single course run |
| 4 | Competitions! We will put all of these together in real competitions, where we will test our skills on obstacle courses just like a Ninja. After competitions, we will break down what happened, why, and how to improve |

How to try out for the Ninja Elite Team?
Elite team try-outs are held 3 times per year. Each team session is 4 months in duration. Children must try out for Elite Team, even if they have previously been a member of the team. Each child will sign up for a 2 hour try-out where they'll be tested on various obstacles to show their strengths and ability. Children will be evaluated on a point system. Another important aspect for any member of the Elite Team is the ability to pay attention to instruction, work as a team, and encourage fellow teammates, which will also be factored into the overall try-out score.
