Sport Stacking is an exciting sport where students up-stack and down-stack 12 specially designed cups (Speed Stacks). Sport Stacking uses both sides of the body and brain to help develop important athletic and academic skills. One of our goals, as Physical Educators, is to promote activity at home through positive alternatives to computer, television, and video game screen time. We believe that Sport Stacking is a unique, fun, and simple activity that motivates kids to get up and move.
