Avie started Ninja again in November 2024. This past Saturday, January 11, she competed in her first competition since joining the Ninja U team in Ankeny. Here is a video of her run! It was a very difficult course and Avie did great! She took 3rd place in her division (Young Adult - female - age 15-17)! Her is the videos of her one run and a few pics!

When Avie was in 8th grade, her and her friend Elodie went to a ninja class at Emerge Academy once a week. At the time, the Ninja U gym in Ankeny did not exist. In the spring of 8th grade she broke her arm when she fell in a friend's garage while trying to roller skate. She had to take a break from ninja. Then he started high school and was so busy with lots of new activities that she never got back into Ninja until now. She has been asking to start again in Ankeny since last March, so she finally found some time and we said she could give it a try.
She had to go to Ninja U in Ankeny and try out with the coach to see if she could join the team! She went around and completed all kinds of tests and he made the team! See some videos of these below. She practices once a week on Tuesday evenings with the team. She is loving it! Most of the kids are younger than her, but she works out with a group of 12 year old girls and is having fun getting to know them as well as several other members on the team. Unfortunately, she took a whole month off prior to the competition because we (Grandma, Camille & Avie) took a trip to New York, Christmas, New Years and then Pep Band. We are so proud of her for putting herself out there and competing anyway!
