For you maybe these words mean nothing... but not for long :) Someone told me this sport is "...soccer, volleyball and gymnastics played in one." And in my home opinion the most exciting things about this game are the discoveries of how much you can do with your feet. Oh yes, it's worth being played. This skill ball game, originated in Asia, today has become an alternative sport, which is quite popular all over the world. History in brief. So the history of this sport movement is as following... I think it's not a surprise for you that every nation has her proud myriad of cultures, arts, literature and traditional sports. It is recorded in the cultures of South-East Asia nations as early as in the 11th century that the game was played extensively - Takraw in Thailand, Sipa in the Philippines, Sepakraga in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, Ching Loong in Myanmar, Rago in Indonesia and Kator in Laos. It is also recorded that in one of his many trips, the merchant Marco Polo brought back to Europe a game from China which was kicking an implement into the air and counting the number of kicks, a style resembling today's sepak takraw game. Sepak takraw is a skill ball game, which requires the use of the feet and head to keep the ball in the air in a targeted direction. Traditionally, villagers stand in a circle and display keen understanding and teamwork to help one another keep the ball in the air for as long as possible. It provided villagers of all ages with fun, recreation and a sense of shared community. This was the traditional circle game, evolved from many forms of kicking game. Today, the circle game is still popular throughout South-East Asia and has taken a hold as a form of recreational "sport for all".

The sport would have been brought in through early trade and had already become popular in Malaysia and Thailand by the early 1400s. Back then it was called takraw in Thai or sepak raga (literally "kick rattan ball", because the ball is made of rattan) in Malay and played mainly by men and boys standing in a circle, kicking the ball back and forth between them. By the 1940s, the net version of the game had spread throughout Southeast Asia, and formal rules were introduced. In the Philippines the sport was called "Sipa", in Myanmar, or Burma, it was dubbed "Chinlone", in Laos "Kator", "câu mây" in Vietnam and in Indonesia "Raga."

Overview Similar to volleyball in rules and gameplay, sepak takraw is an ancient southeast Asian game where players use their feet and legs to volley a ball over a net.

Rules of Sepak Takraw Sepak takraw is played on a roughly 13 m by 6 m court rectangular court. A net (similar to those used in volleyball) is placed across the the middle of the court. The takraw is usually made of synthetic fiber or one woven layer, and weighs about 6 oz (5.3 oz for women). Each match is played between two regus, consisting of three players each. Play begins with one team kicking the takraw over the net, towards the opposing regu. Once the takraw is in play players can move anywhere on their side of the court. Points are awarded when the opposing regu commits a fault. Faults are called when the takraw falls outside the court's boundaries, when the takraw fails to cross to the opposing side, when players uses his/her hands or arms and when the takraw is played more than 3 times in succession. Each set is played to 21 points, with the winner required to win by 2 points. If after 2 sets the regus are tied, a third set is played. This tiebreak set is played to 15 points.

The development of the game was interupted by the war. In 1945 in Penang the net was again introduced and the popularity spread to surrounding areas and then countries. In 1965 Malaysia hosted the South East Asian Peninsular games (SEAP) and sepak raga was introduced. There were lengthy discussion between Malaysian and Singapore delegates, on the one hand, and Laos and Thai delegates, on the other, with regard to the official name of the sport. An agreement was subsequently arrived at and it was decided that the sport would be known as "Sepak Takraw". Sepak means KICK in Malay and Takraw means BALL in Thai word.

Variations on the game have been played throughout South East Asia for hundreds of years. Some people believe it was brought into the region by the famous Venitian explorer Marco Polo, who may have seen a similar sport in China. The traditional form of the game is a lot like hacky sack (aka footbag), with a group of players standing in a circle and trying to keep the ball in the air without using their hands. The modern form developed during the 1930s after the introduction of the net. Almost every nation that played the game knew it by a different name: sepak raga (Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei), takraw (Thailand), sipa (Philippines), ching loong (Myanmar), rago (Indonesia) or kator (Laos). Representatives of several nations met at the South East Asian Peninsula Games in 1965 and after a heated debate the sport of a thousand names was officially called sepak takraw.
