The relationship between father and daughter is adorable

THIS man has nailed the art of parenting by coming up with the perfect way to entertain his little girl.

Athletic Lylah has begun her training for American Ninja Warrior very early, all thanks to her dad Gavin MacCall.

To put his five-year-old through her paces, the cool dad has built an epic personalised assault course.

The obstacles certainly aren’t an easy task for a young girl, as they’ve all taken inspiration from the sports entertainment show American Ninja Warrior.

It’s clear that Lyla has been practicing, as she bounds across the course with complete ease.

The different tasks have been given adorable names by the pair, including the “Hanging Steps at Christmas Tree Corner” and “The Log Thingies”.

Since Gavin uploaded the cute clip to Facebook, it’s been viewed over 12,000 times and racked up dozens of likes.

One Facebook user remarked: “Wow. That has to be one of the coolest Dad things I’ve ever seen.”

Another agreed: “Wow!!! Lylah is amazing! And Gavin, you are a really awesome dad.

“I'm afraid to show this to my kiddos because I'm sure they'll want to do this and I'm not sure I can have it in my house.”

The family are encouraging donations to their own to make the assault course bigger and better than ever.
