Product Description

Editorial Review

Endorsed by the World Sport Stacking Association, Speed Stacks Stack Pack contains everything you need to be "competition ready" in this competitive sport of coordination, action, and speed. Specially designed for streamlined stacking, the 12 included competition-level cups have vent holes and textured surfaces for better grip and faster stacking. For those new to the sport, an instructional DVD offers tips and training for the predetermined sequences and patterns of Speed Stacking. Perhaps the coolest feature of the set is the Stackmat, a cushioned pad that comes with a precision timer capable of timing your stack to the hundredths of a second. For stackers on the go, the set also includes a mesh bag to carry your cups. While the official sport has carefully designed rules, the basic action of stacking cups is something even toddlers have tried, making this set fun for the whole family to play with straight out of the box. Try a competition stack or go freestyle; race against the clock or compete with friends to see who is fastest. Used in more than 10,000 schools, Speed Stacks promotes hand-eye coordination, quickness, and concentration--valuable skills on the playing field and in the classroom. The Stackmat timer is powered by one lithium button-cell battery (included). --Heather Lyndon

My 7 year old daughter was first introduced to these in her PE class at school. They are serious about this sport at her school. It has kept my daugther and kids in the neighborhood busy for hours. My daughter and her friends have competed in competitions and play with them all year along!! Perfect gift and helps greatly with hand/eye coordination. I HIGHLY recommend this product!! You can't go wrong with it. And, if you are good enough, you can compete nationally!! I enjoy playing these myself! It is for kids of all ages, up to age 100!!

This review is from: Speed Stacks Stackpack - Red (Toy)

I am a first grade teacher, and I am crazy about this game. I have to admit that when I first saw the commercial for these, I was perplexed. Cups? It's just stacking cups? But then my own kids started raving about how they had used them in PE and how much fun they were. So, I used some of my supply money to purchase two sets for my first grade class and WOW! What a hit! I bought a set for each of my own kids (9 & 12) and we've all had a blast with them! I would so much rather see them playing with these than with the video games and they like these as well or better! BTW, The Sport Stacking web site has a number of studies on the benefits of this activity.

I'm 22... and man! These cups are so much fun! In one of my college classes, we tried them out today. Kids need hand-eye coordination. They need to participate in activities that will promote it... Cup stacking is definitely a fun way to do just that! I strongly urge you to give it a chance. Maybe start with a cheaper set of cups to give it a try... but it's definitely worth it to invest the forty dollars into something they will enjoy a long time. These are high quality, specially designed cups that make the sport fun. The colors are great, too!
