Competitions at Glad – Where Comp Feels Like a Party

At Glad Movement, our competitions aren’t just about obstacles — they’re about people. Built around community, courage, and celebration, our Glad Comps are designed to reignite the magic we once witnessed in what we believe was Australia’s most incredible sporting community.

These events are loud, electric, and overflowing with high-fives, positive sportsmanship, epic tricks (Flashlin-style, of course!) and heart-fuelled cheering. But most of all, they’re about joy — the kind that reminds you why you fell in love with Ninja in the first place.

💬 “Glad Comps feel like a party.”
(Not our words — our community’s.)

🎯 Built for All Ages, Designed for Each Athlete

From 4-year-olds to adults, our competitions are age and skill-divided to ensure every participant feels both challenged and celebrated. We carefully design our courses based on who’s entering, tailoring each event to support progression, showcase talent, and keep every run fun, fair, and full of flow.

Whether you’re here for your first run or your fastest run yet, we want every competitor to walk away with a smile on their face and a heart full of warmth.

💚 Why Compete at Glad?

Custom-built courses for each division
Skill-building meets celebration
Community-focused, connection-first vibe
Ninja that’s more about cheering than chasing podiums (though we love those too!)

Join us and experience a competition that feels like a reunion of movement-loving legends — where everyone’s journey is cheered for, and every effort is celebrated.

🎉 Because at Glad, we don’t just compete — we connect.

Charity Events at Glad – Community in Action, Giving with Heart

At Glad Movement, we believe movement isn’t just about strength and skills — it’s about showing up for each other. That’s why we host yearly charity events to support causes close to our hearts, teaching our community — especially our young athletes — the true power of giving back.

Our charity events are more than fundraisers — they’re living lessons in empathy, teamwork, and gratitude. We proudly involve our athletes in the planning and running of these events, ensuring they gain hands-on experience in leadership, service, and heart-led action.

🏅 Our First Event – Kids Helping Kids

This tradition began at Peninsula Gymnastics and launched our community’s legacy of giving. In 2025, we raised $3,500.95 for the Good Friday Appeal, with help from our incredible athletes, families, and local businesses.

From sourcing raffle prizes and silent disco gear to collecting donations, our entire community rallied behind the cause — and the impact was unforgettable.

🤝 Get Involved:

We’re always open to:

Hosting charity events on behalf of local causes
Offering donations or raffle items to community organisations
Partnering with businesses who want to support our mission

If you’re a local charity or business interested in collaborating, please reach out — we’d love to work together to create something meaningful.

Because at Glad, we don’t just build stronger bodies — we build a stronger community. 💛
