[2008 Oct] Pei Hwa Secondary Stacks!

A very short time was allocated for this post-exam activity, but the 2 classes of students were very focused and attentive, mastering the Cycle stacks by the end of the lesson. They even had time to do a little friendly competition, but the fun had to end early as the noise and excitement was too much for the classes preparing for 'O' levels.

[2008 Aug] The Sunday Times - Cups Runneth Over

The Sunday Times, 31 August 2008 :
Cups runneth over

Sport-Stacking in the news!

Popular Straits Times journalist Cheryl Tan writes about the sport that is driving schools crazy. She was at Lianhua Primary school to witness our instructors conduct the concluding lesson for the Primary 2 students, and also witnessed an exciting competition between Lianhua students and their Chinese visitors.

Crazy-Cups, however, wishes to redress two misconceptions about Sport-Stacking, as raised by sport surgeon Tan Jee Lim in the article. Firstly, Tan commented that "it would be hard to define (sport-stacking) as (a sport) because a real sport requires actual physical activities that make use of the cardiovascular system in order to improve". REAL sports? What are they? Take Archery as an example. From the calm composure of an archer preparing and eventually sending an arrow over a long distance and striking the target with precision, they hardly seem to break a sweat. And what about Equestrian? It seems to work the horse's heart and lungs more than the rider's. By Tan's definition both would not be real sports, yet both were hotly contested events in the recent Beijing Olympics 2008, the International multi-sport event! Take the pulse rate of a stacker who has just competed in a heads-on challenge. Sport-stacking DOES work the cardiovascular system, and much more.

Secondly, Tan also suggested "Cupstacking is more of a leisure pursuit", and it is not hard to understand why such a comment is made. Despite being around since 1980 and touted as the fastest growing sport, there are still many people who have not heard of it, let alone realise and appreciate its benefits and fiercely competitive and exciting nature. Read the long list of benefits that Sport-stacking offers , and the study done by 4 US Professors on Sport-stacking's influence on hand-eye coordination and reaction time. Ask a keen stacker how much practice time and effort it takes to improve the Cycle Stack to under 10 sec, and the intense pressure he is subjected to during competitions. Leisure pursuit? Hardly!

Sport-stacking may not be in the league of the Olympics. Not just yet.

But start stacking. This could one day be your ticket to a Golden dream!

[2008 Jul] Lianhua Primary School

8 P2 classes were taught Sport-stacking over 4 weeks. It was tough trying to capture the attention of these lively stackers over one hour sessions, but when its competition time, it was obvious they had been paying attention during the lessons! The students also had the opportunity to share this exciting sport with their Chinese visitors, and a friendly game was inevitable. And as expected, the excitement raised the roof!
