"Out
of all the things I've taught in PE, sport
stacking has got to be the the most exciting.
It helps students increase focus, hand-eye
coordination and concentration. They just love it!"

| "What
I'm most excited about is that (sport) stacking is very
easy to
learn and very challenging to master. I can teach a brand new beginner
everything they need to be successful in about 45 minutes to an hour.
It doesn't matter if we have special needs kids, it doesn't matter
academically--this is really about using both sides of the body, both
sides of the brain. Anybody can
do this."

"I
have 15 special needs students ranging
from learning disabilities to multiple
disabilities. My hope was to get them at
least to do a few of the beginner
sport stacking skills such as the 3 Stack
and possibly the 3-3-3. After six months
of 15 minutes a day, 10 of my students
are doing the complete Cycle Stack! Two
of my students would be ranked unofficially
in the Top 10 (5th-Grtade division) in the
Cycle posting scores of 11.24 seconds and
13.10. I also have a student who has the use
of only one hand and can do the complete
Cycle! Thanks Speed Stacks, for making
these kids feel successful!"

"The
great athletic performers are ambidextrous.
Look at Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan.
They're ambidextrous and very right-side brain players --
very creative, very aware. Sport stacking helps develop
ambidexterity. " |

"I
have gone from a complete skeptic to a complete sport stacking addict!
My high school students love it! I am a strong advocate of kinesthetic
activities. Sport stacking appeals to the kinesthetic learner, and
often touches a segment of the population that some of our more traditional
physical education offerings do not reach. Often, once we have reached
a student
(through sport stacking), they will buy into all of our efforts."
