Sports Challenge

Test yourself, your friends, and your relatives as you pitch, climb, jump, run, and balance in these larger-than-life experiences. Then learn some techniques for improving your performance through better nutrition, safer warm-up exercises, and a better understanding of the physics involved.

NEW! Batter Up! – Swing a bat through a pair of laser beams to see your Major League swing speed and resulting ball distance and direction calculated and displayed on the PNC Park diamond.

You’ll test your peripheral vision, hand-eye coordination, reaction time, and stamina (as you race, dodge, and dash!) to score points in solo or multi-player modes.
