Stackers Club

Immaculate Heart of Mary School is proud to offer a variety of non-traditional sporting activities.  One of which is Sport Stacking. 

Sport Stacking is an exciting individual and team sport where participants stack and down stack 12 specially designed plastic cups in pre-determined sequence.  The IHM Saints Stackers meet bi-weekly to practice their skill as well as compete against each other to prepare for an end of season tournament.

Schools, teachers and parents are focused more than ever on academic achievement. Sport stacking not only promotes physical fitness, but also academic learning. Students that sport stack on a regular basis have shown increases in test scores and levels of concentration. This is achieved by students using both their right and left sides of their brain. When students sport stack they are crossing the "midline" of their bodies and developing new connections in their brains. These new connections help to spur brain growth which in turn promotes greater academic achievement.

Sport Stacking is a fitness based sport that kids from all backgrounds and abilities can do. For the athlete and non-athlete alike, regardless if you are instructing eighth graders or kindergartners, sport stacking can be a great enhancement for your fitness routine.

Please call or email Nikki Trapp if you have any questions about IHM’s Saints Stackers.  We currently have a team of 54 students consisting of 1st through 5th graders.
