Little Aussie Platform Disc

The Gymnastics Direct Little Aussie Platform Disc is an essential ninja warrior and parkour training obstacle for children of all ages, schools, gymnastics clubs, sports education programs, and home ninja warrior courses across Australia. Deceptively simple in design but powerful in developmental impact, the Platform Disc challenges children to leap, land, and stabilise on a compact elevated surface — developing the precise footwork, balance, coordination, proprioception, and body control that are the hallmarks of a skilled ninja warrior athlete.

About This Product...

• Inspired by the iconic stepping stone obstacle seen on ninja warrior courses around the world — brought to life in a safe, age-appropriate foam and vinyl format
• Develops precise footwork, balance, and coordination — every jump and landing requires children to rapidly process sensory information and respond with controlled, precise movement
• Stimulates key sensory systems — each leap and landing challenges proprioception (body awareness), vestibular processing (balance and spatial orientation), and reactive coordination simultaneously
• Adjustable spacing — place discs close together for younger or less confident children, or spread them further apart for a bigger leaping challenge for older, more capable athletes
• Secures safely to any carpet-bonded surface — using industrial strength velcro, keeping the disc stable and secure during fast-paced jumping and landing activities while still allowing for quick reconfiguration between sessions
• Integrates seamlessly with the full Little Aussie Ninja range — including the Slanted Rebound Steps, Ninja Road Block, and the Little Aussie Ninja Course
• Available as a single disc and as a 4 Piece Set — more discs means more course configurations and more fun
• No assembly required — arrives ready to use straight out of the box
• Construction: High density foam with an 18oz vinyl outer cover — durable, safe, and built for the demands of busy gyms, schools, and backyard ninja courses
• Please note: Disc must be used on a carpet-bonded surface — Carpet-bonded Flexi Roll Matting is available separately in the Gymnastics Direct range

Dimensions: 65cm x 65cm x 30cm
Construction: High density foam, 18oz vinyl cover
Also available as: 4 Piece Set
