What is Sepak Takraw?

Basic rules and scoring are similar to volleyball. Each team is allowed a maximum of three touches of the ball to get it back over the net to the other side without letting it touch the ground. The first team to score either 15 or 21 points, depending on the rules in play, wins the set. The team that prevails in two sets wins the match. Play starts when the server is tossed the grapefruit-sized ball by a teammate while keeping one foot in a small 'serving circle'. He then must kick the ball over the net with the other foot. After that, volleyball rules pretty much apply, except for the fact that the ball can't be touched by the hands or arms.

Also known as Kick Volleyball, Sepak Takraw is a popular sport played in south east Asia. The sport is practically a combination of soccer (football) and Volleyball. The name of the sport come from Malaysia and Thailand. Sepak is the Malay word for 'kick' and Takraw is the Thai work for ball. Together you get kickball. Surprisingly the sport is played in Canada and the United States, however it is no where near as popular.

Sepak takraw is played between two teams of three players; the left inside, right inside and back. The court is about the same size as a badminton court and the net is 1.52 metres high. Traditionally balls were hand-woven from bamboo or rattan, but most modern ones are synthetic. A player can use any part of their body except their hands to hit the rattan ball onto the opponents court. When the ball hits the opposing teams court it counts as a point for your team.
