Little Aussie Backyard Ninja Run

The Gymnastics Direct Little Aussie Backyard Ninja Run is the ultimate complete ninja warrior course bundle for kids in Australia — everything you need to turn your backyard, garage, gym, or school into a high-energy ninja training circuit, delivered in one ready-to-run package. Designed to build agility, coordination, balance, speed, and confidence in children aged 3 and up, the Little Aussie Backyard Ninja Run is the go-to choice for parents, schools, gymnastics clubs, and sports education programs looking for a safe, fun, and developmentally powerful ninja warrior training setup that kids will absolutely love.

Forget piecing together a ninja course from scratch — the Little Aussie Backyard Ninja Run takes all the guesswork out of the equation. The bundle combines a full-size, safety-tested Flexi Roll Tumbling Mat with four Slanted Rebound Steps in one complete package, giving you a professional-grade ninja warrior agility run that is ready to use straight out of the box. No complicated setup, no separate purchases, no compatibility concerns — just unbox, lay down the mat, attach the steps, and watch the fun begin.

What's Included:

1 x Flexi Roll Tumbling Mat (1.52m wide x 3m long x 3.5cm thick)
The foundation of your ninja run. The Gymnastics Direct Flexi Roll Tumbling Mat is crafted from high density foam with a durable carpet-bonded surface — the same surface that the Slanted Rebound Steps' industrial strength velcro grips to for a safe, stable, non-slip training setup. Available in Blue, Black, or Purple. Critically, the Flexi Roll Mat has been independently safety tested and has passed the AS4422 impact testing standard — the Australian safety standard for impact-absorbing surfaces — giving parents and educators complete confidence that the mat provides maximum safety and protection during use. This is a standard that not all ninja warrior mats in Australia meet, and it is a genuine point of difference for the Little Aussie Backyard Ninja Run.

4 x Slanted Rebound Steps (60cm x 60cm x 50cm each)
Four Slanted Rebound Steps secured to the Flexi Roll Mat create a full extended lateral agility run that challenges children to leap from side to side with speed, rhythm, precision, and control. The slanted design guides children into the correct lateral jumping pattern, building the fast-twitch muscle fibres, explosive leg power, reactive balance, and coordination that underpin athletic performance across ninja warrior training, gymnastics, and junior sports including football, soccer, netball, and athletics. More steps means more challenge, more rhythm, and more fun — and four steps is where the real agility training magic happens.

The Little Aussie Backyard Ninja Run is also the perfect starting point for building a bigger ninja warrior course over time. Add Platform Discs, the Ninja Road Block, or upgrade to the full Little Aussie Ninja Course to keep challenging your kids as their skills and confidence grow.
