Our second annual Premier Series will be sure to make your jaw drop!
On July 20 and 21, Stamford Ninja Academy will be kicking off our second season of the World Ninja League Premier Series! The competition, featuring a Placement Course and Challenge Course, will once again bring the top 25% of athletes from all around the world to battle for the title of Premier Series Champion. The top 4 in each division from this qualifier in Stamford will qualify for the Premier Series Finals, which will be held at Life Force Ninja in Bellingham, Washington.
The course will be designed by longtime competitor, coach, commentator, and course designer Will Schlageter. When asked to describe the course in three words (without spoilers), he was very to the point.
“Classic modern Ninja,” Schlageter replied. “Overall, the course[s] will reward what is commonly trained but in some uncommon ways.”
If anyone can take on Schlageter’s courses, it’s this crop of athletes. Headlining the event is Season IX Elite Male World Champion Jackson Erdos, who will be battling veteran Joe Moravsky in his own home gym. Tom Alberti, who placed 3rd to Erdos, will also be vying for a qualifying spot to the Finals against other top competitors. On the Elite Female side, Corine Capriotti and Mackenzie Pavlik will be duking it out for the top spot.
Erdos isn’t the only World Champion attending this event. Reigning Kids Female World Champion Ariana Merchant will be fighting to keep her winning streak alive alongside Mature Kids Female World Champion Gabrielle Licata. Other competitors to keep an eye out for are Harper Bergin (Mature Kids Female), Ryan Harsha (Amateur Male), and Christian Hart (Amateur Male).
With so many talented athletes across all divisions, this first competition in our 2024 Premier Series is sure to leave us all in absolute awe! You can watch every division on the WNL YouTube.
