The project promotes fitness, problem-solving and a growth mindset while providing an alternative to traditional sports. It aims to inspire confidence and perseverance. Grit Ninja coaches will share personal stories of success, failure, and perseverance and support students as they tackle a variety of obstacles like the warped wall, rings, monkey bars, and balance challenges. The program will take place over two days to allow for all students to participate.
