Five-year-old Lylah MacCall is ‘The Little American Ninja Warrior that Could’

Groundbreaking performances by Jessie Graf and Jesse LaBreck on the past season of American Ninja Warrior have inspired young girls coast-to-coast to up their game.

But what happens when you’ve mastered every obstacle at the local playground? If you’re like five-year-old Lylah MacCall, you get your doting daddy to build you your very own customized backyard course.

Gavin MacCall went all out in constructing a course complete with quintuple steps, balance beam, teeter log, cargo climb, shed roof, zip line, hanging steps (shown above), log thingys, and finally a warped wall.

What does it take to build your own personal Ninja Warrior course? About four months, a goodly amount of free materials, and lots of elbow grease.

The four-by-eight foot cargo net was fashioned from 280 feet of 3/4 inch poly rope. Gavin anticipated it would take a while to tie all the knots, and it did — eight hours!

Of course an obstacle course isn’t any good unless you have a daredevil like Lylah to test it out. And, of course, an occasional Slurpee is mandatory to celebrate course records.
