Sepak Takraw is a volleyball-like game that originated in Southeast Asia. With a literal translation of ‘Kick Ball’, 3 players compete against their opposition on a volleyball style court with a net across the middle.

Unlike volleyball, in Sepak Takraw, players are not allowed to use their hands to play the ball and are required to use their feet, head, knees and chest to touch the ball. Popular across Southeast Asia, it is particularly popular in Malaysia where it is locally known as 'Sepak Raga' and Thailand where it is called 'Takraw'.

The game’s history stretches back to the 15th century with slightly differing versions of the game being played in different parts of Southeast Asia. It was in the 1940s, however, that the first set of formalised rules were introduced and the game took the official name of Sepak Takraw with, ISTAF, the International Sepak Takraw Federation governing the sport worldwide where it is growing in popularity year-on-year. Outside of Southeast Asia, the game is particularly popular in the USA and Canada and other western countries where there are significant southeast Asian communities.

Rules:

1.Games of Sepak Takraw shall be played by two teams of three players.
2.Play begins when the server is thrown the ball by a teammate and must then kick the ball
over the net whilst keeping one foot in the service circle.
3.Players may only touch the ball with their feet, head, knees and chest. Touching the ball with
the hand or any other part of the body can result in a fault and a point for the opposition.
4.Each team is allowed a maximum of three touches of the ball to return it back over the net 

without letting it touch the ground.
5.Failure to return the ball over the net before it hits the ground results in a point to the opposition.
