Speed stacking is an exciting individual and team sport where participants stack and down stack 12 specially designed plastic cups in pre-determined sequences.
It was launched in SA in 2009 and numerous schools are now playing this new sport. Children of all ages and athletic abilities love sport stacking because it is fun, challenging and easy to learn.
Active and healthy, sport stacking improves ambidexterity, concentration and hand-eye coordination. Studies show that sport stacking increases bilateral proficiency and equal performance on both sides of the body (using both the right and left sides of the brain). Sequencing and patterning also help with reading and mathematical skills.
