Barbados Ninja Throwdown is a local sports entertainment competition that features some obstacles that are seen on the show, “American Ninja Warrior”, with a local twist to them. It encompasses individuals from different disciplines to complete the course in the fastest time possible. The Barbados Ninja Throwdown has a long existing partnership with the National Ninja League. This year, the top 10 athletes per gender, per division, per county will qualify directly to the NNL World Championships 2024.

There are different divisions for each age group. For 2023, the BNT will only allow the following age groups to sign up:

Kids (6-8)
Mature Kids (Age 9-10)
Preteens (Age 11-12)
Teens (Age 13-14)
Young Adults (15-17)
Elite (Age 15+)
Adults (18+)
Masters (40+)

The competitor’s age on January 1st, 2024 will decide what age category they fall into.

Men and women will most likely run the same course. However, it is possible there could be changes made for a specific gender within each division. The top 10 per gender, per division, per country who haven’t qualified yet will qualify directly for the NNL World Championships 2024.

The Elite division is an all-new division for the Barbados Ninja Throwdown. It is open to the best of the best athletes who are 15 years and older and has the most prize money of any division.
