Having already held a Hertfordshire County Tournament in February 2008, Sport Stacking was also a feature at this year’s Hertfordshire Youth Games.

In addition to sport competitions, students aged 5-19 were invited to attend and participate in various sports that were designed to assist in personal development in the hope of engaging even more young people into sporting programs.

Sport Stacking has become more and more popular at this type of event .One of the main reasons for this is that Sport Stacking, apart from being inclusive is a fun activity that develops key skills that are required to be able to perform in many other sports .The skills improved include hand eye co-ordination, quickness, focus, concentration and bi-lateral proficiency.
