What is the sport of cup stacking?
You might have heard it over the news, or saw it on the TV show 'Ripley's Believe it or not'. Cup stacking is the latest craze rapidly sweeping across U.S./Europe, with thousands of schools worldwide adopting it as part of their physical education curriculum. It is an individual and team sport, where participants of all ages try to up-stack and down-stack 12 specially designed plastic cups in pre-determined sequence at a very quick speed. Stackers challenge their own ability by racing against the clock for the fastest times.

Why Cup Stacking?
There must be a reason why this sport is captivating the youths in U.S./Europe like no other sports have. First and foremost, it is FUN! Participants challenge themselves for the fastest or best times. They can also compete on a relay race against other teams in a head-to-head challenge. A search on the Internet will reveal tons of other unbelievable benefits. 

Simply put, cup stacking:

• Promotes athleticism - this is a sport!

• Polishes fine motor skills - playing most musical instruments will train a person's fine motor skills but hardly any sport can claim that.  With the need to feel the cups with your fingertips when you up-stack and down-stack at F1 speed, sport stacking certainly tests and builds your fine motor skills.

• Improves hand-eye coordination/accuracy - please read Cup Stacking Study

• Promotes ambidexterity/bilateral proficiency - the property of being equally skillful with each hand.  Stackers are required to stack with both hands.

• Trains quickness/reflexes - besides the need to stack as fast as possible, stackers also need to react to falling cups, or to situations when they don't life the number of cups they intend to while up-stacking.

• Trains concentration and sharpness of the brain - cup stacking is about speed and precision. The stacker has to be fully focused on brain and hands coordination, especially when there is a loud crowd of spectators cheering you on!

• Trains space management - cup stacking prompts the stacker to think about space management when stacking in a constrained space.

• Promotes team building - cup stacking is most ideal for team building. When competing in a team, members encourage and cheer each other on.  Also a great ice-breaking activity in seminars and workshops.

• Encourages sportsmanship - encourage students to cheer competition, shake hands before/after each challenge and complete the stack even if the race is lost.

• Builds confidence in public performance - competing in front of the class/school helps to promote student confidence of performing in front of an audience.

• Trains handling of competition pressure - students need confidence and concentration to handle the intense excitement of cup-stacking competition.

• Provides sense of achievement - cup stacking is easy to pick up, and with practice, vast personal improvement can easily be achieved over a short period of time.

• Creates awareness on fingernail hygiene.

• Encourages creativity and imagination - students can be creative by planning their own stacks and relay races.

• Great wet/haze weather program - Its an in-door activity, play it anytime, rain or shine!  Of course, it can be played outdoor too!

• Enjoy hours of FUN FUN FUN! When stacking alone or with friends, cup stacking provide hours of intense excitement and thrill, trying to beat personal time as well as beating the others to complete the cycle!

Cup stacking helps train the brain for sports and other activities where the use of the left and right of the brain and body is important, such as playing a musical instrument or using the computer. Top Universities in the U.S. have even researched, and proven, that the sport not only improves psychomotor skills, but also enhances students' brain building, thereby raising cognitive thinking and improves academic abilities. These are important reasons why many educators world wide rush to include this sport as an integral part of their school curriculum.
