Cupstack began in 1983 at the Boy's and Girl's Club in Oceanside, California by Wayne Godinet. Cupstack goals have always been;

• To increase self-esteem and competitiveness for those who may not excel in typical sports like baseball, football & basketball due to physical limitations or lack of interest. Any child has the potential to excel in the Cupstack sport.


• To develop eye-hand coordination, an important part of a youth's development, which also increases their ability to remain focused on a particular task - Cupstacking.


• Provide an activity that will occupy after-school time, thus preventing exposure to illegal / undesirable behavior and divert them away from gang activities. Problems like these not only face the kids in Oceanside CA, but in all urban environments around the country.

Working in partnership with Youth Opportunities Network (YON), Cupstack Inc. is focused on helping youths in America become responsible young adults by diverting them away from gang activities. It's has become a popular sport, both competitive and non-competitive, within schools and community organizations around the world. From a leisurely game played at home, an after-school activity, to national competitions, cupstacking has proven to be beneficial to both children and young adults in many ways. Watching an experienced cupstacker often times amazes someone unfamiliar with the sport due to the speed, skilled eye-hand coordination and command of the sport. These kinds of skills can be ascertained by almost any child or young adult.

Together YON and Cupstack Inc. can provide assistance with fundraising events that benefit underprivileged kids and families, provide gang prevention and intervention, or raise funds for after-school activities in an urban environment. Working with schools, local community organizations and faith-based organizations, Cupstack provides special pricing for fundraising events. For more information send an email with your name, organization name, address and phone number to cupstackinfo@youthopportunitiesnetwork.org. Please include the purpose of your fundraising event in your email. Cupstack Inc. also guarantees unbeatable pricing, so all kids are afforded the opportunity and benefits of cupstacking.
