Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Ultimate Ninjas Academy – Deerfield
What is Ultimate Ninjas Academy Deerfield?
A smaller indoor ninja training site on Waukegan Road in Deerfield — classes, open play, birthday parties, and camps for North Shore families who want coaching without the full gym footprint.
How is the Deerfield Academy different from a full gym?
Same sport, tighter floor. You still get coached classes and parties; you don't get the giant all-ages gym layout. Fine if you live off 41 / Waukegan and don't want to drive to a full location every week.
What ages does Deerfield Academy serve?
Academy classes typically start around 3–4 and run through elementary / early middle school. Check the Deerfield class page for the current age bands.

775 Waukegan Road, Suite 165, Deerfield, IL. Call 224.554.0800. Parking is at the suite complex.
Does a North Shore winter change anything?
The floor is indoors. Lake-effect slush on Waukegan doesn't cancel class.
