Sport stacking had been described as a “track meet for your hands at warp speed.” It is an emerging individual and team sport where participants stack and unstuck twelve specially designed high-tech cups in pre-determined sequences with lightening quickness. This unique sport promotes hand-eye coordination, ambidexterity, focus, concentration, team skills and sportsmanship. Sport stacking competitions take place locally, nationally an internationally throughout the year and competitors, generally ages 6-18, can compete against the clock or on relay teams. The sport had spread rapidly across the United States and beyond and it’s estimated that more than a million kid worldwide now take part. The WSSA (world Sport Stacking Association), formed in 2001, acts as the governing body for sport stacking events.
