This week we learned and researched about cup stacking. Cup stacking is a sport that not many people think about when they think of sports, but it is a good option for those who do not enjoy team sports. You can work on this with very little equipment, on your own time. Cup stacking appears in many PE classes, TV shows, as well as in the Junior Olympics for males and females. In cup stacking, there are many different sequences that include: 3 3 3, 3 6 3, and 1 10 1. All of these can be done to break personal and world records. The goal of cup stackers all over the world is to either single handedly, or as a team beat records. I know that earlier I said that it could be a single person sport, but it can also include teams of 4 that each stack like a relay to beat records of other teams. Cup stacking is not just natural talent or practice. While it does require a lot of practice, it also is crucial to have tactics and strategies. Each player has different ways that they hold the cups, and different orders that they stack in. For cup stackers, they can practice with a mat called a Stack Mat. The mat has enough room to do any of the stacking patterns, and includes a timer for you to hit to start and stop your time. The mat allows stackers to save their times and experiment with the different holds and orders. People who cup stack, are very serious about it. There are tournaments all over that lead up to the Junior Olympics. Cup stacking records are being broken all the time all over the world.
