The sport is great for developing motor skills, patterning, sequencing, focus and concentration. It teaches bilateral proficiency and the kids have a blast. Not a day goes by that a parent does not thank me for starting this unit at Sampson.

I discovered cup stacking through Bob Fox (founder of Speed Stacks, Inc.) at a conference back in 2000. Emily Fox (Fox's daughter) was stacking cups in a fury at a table in the exhibit hall. I'd never seen anything like it. I thought it would be something neat we could give a try-definitely something different.
