SKYHOOK TEAM
WHAT IS SKYHOOK TEAM
​
During the 2017-2018 ninja season Skyhook had many athletes travel all over the United States to compete in competitions, including our Ninja Lucy that now holds the title of 2nd in the world. Many of you have expressed the willingness to travel and compete in competitions year-round. We feel we can better serve and prepare our athletes for Ninja Competitions if we form a team, train hard year-round, and elevate ourselves with more competitions. Classes and practice have provided a fantastic foundation for our youth athletes, but the time has come for our Skyhook ninjas to get in the game.
