McCall Elementary School 4th grader Andrew Rizzo-Reidy (right) practices arranging cups during a meeting of the school’s speed stacking club, as (from left) 2nd graders Hayden Huston and Lerieng Nguyen and 4th grader Jordan Bingham watch. Speed stacking, now taught in more than 30 District schools, is a competitive sport recognized worldwide. Mark Sykes, McCall’s health and physical education coach, oversees the club. The sport supports right-brain development, concentration, fine-motor control, and sequencing skills. One study found significant improvements in the hand-eye coordination, reaction time, and test scores of students who regularly practiced speed stacking.

Jordan had his hand out because drew had to stack the cups and do the ''cycle'' then put the cups in a pile.Then give it to Jordan and run back so Jordan could run to the mat and do the ''cycle'' also.I know because I was in their class in 3rd grade and in Drew's class last year.This year he is in Masterman for school this year.So is his brother,Teddy Rizzo-Reidy.
