Season 1

That's a wrap on Season 1 🩷

I truly can't believe our first season has already come to a close. What started as a small idea turned into something so real, so powerful, and so much bigger than I ever imagined.

Thank you to Jenn Sanders for pushing WNA to become a league and making the tough calls on course changes and reffing, to the gyms and course designers who took a chance on WNA and opened their doors to us, and to our sponsors who believed in the vision.

To the athletes who showed up and competed: you are the heart of WNA. There is no league without strong, fearless women in this sport. And to the parents and coaches, thank you for your support, your trust, and getting your athletes out to comps.

We've learned so much, we've had some of the most incredible, unforgettable moments, and we're just getting started. Season 2… we're coming back even stronger ✨

Our mission

A platform built for female athletes

The Women's Ninja Association (WNA) is dedicated to showcasing the unique talent, dedication and passion of female ninja athletes across the globe.

We give women a platform to compete at the highest levels of ninja, in a safe space in a primarily male-dominated sport, with a culture of inclusivity and respect. Our female-only competitions also aim to inspire course designers across the sport to build obstacles around female athletes' unique strengths.
