Chelsea Piers Connecticut announces the transformation of the 3000 sq. ft. infield turf into a high-level adult and youth Ninja + Parkour Training Center. The Center will house popular obstacles such as two warped walls (12ft and 14ft), a salmon ladder, flying bars, skyhooks, spider climb, cliffhangers, and flywheels. The facility is designed for youth, aged 9 and older, and adults.
Programming will begin with a full-day weekly summer camp offered during all 11 weeks of camp, from the end of June through the end of August. In the fall, programming will increase adding a youth competitive travel team and youth classes. Additionally, birthday parties beginning in July will include a 9 and older Ninja + Parkour Training Center option. Open gym sessions for adults and youth will be added later this summer.
The facility will be the only comprehensive and professionally outfitted Ninja Parkour gym in Fairfield County and one of a handful in the tristate area. The gym is being designed and outfitted by Deary's Gymnastics Supply, who is a leading ninja parkour gym and obstacle designer. Deary's most recently designed the obstacles and layout for the National Ninja League’s World Championships. All of the staff and coaches will have first-hand knowledge of ninja and parkour training to assist athletes in the training facility.
The Ninja + Parkour Travel team will be made up of athletes 9-15 years old and will travel around the Northeast competing in regional competitions.
