  1. SEPAK TAKRAW By: Zerick D. Green

  2. BACKGROUND/HISTORY • SepakTakraw is a sport played primary in Southeast Asia especially in Malaysia. It is similar to Volleyball, only you kick the ball instead of using your -hands. • The origins of sepaktakraw remains a matter of intense debate in Southeast Asia, as several countries proudly claim it as their own. • There is, however, some agreement that the game was introduced to Southeast Asia through commercial contact with China, where an ancient form of the game originated. • It is believed that many variations of the game evolved from an ancient Chinese military exercise, where soldiers would try to keep a feathered shuttlecock airborne by kicking it back and forth between two or more people. .

  3. Background/HistoryContinued….. • As the sport developed, the animal hide and chicken feathers were eventually replaced by balls made of woven strips of rattan.

  4. REGULATION BALL • The SepakTakrawball shall be a sphere of one woven layer having 12 holes with 20 intersections. • It shall be made of natural rattan or synthetic fiber. If it is made of rattan, it shall consist of 9-11 strains. • The circumference shall not be less than 0.42'm and not more than 0.44 m (0.43 m to 0.45 m for women). The weight before play shall not be less than 170 gm and not more than 180 gm (150 gm to 160 gm for women).

  5. S EPAK TAKRAW COURT

  6. Basic Rules The rules are very similar to those in volleyball, with the following five important exceptions: • The use of hands is not permitted. • Each player may touch the ball only once before it is kicked over the net. • There is no rotation in the defense position. • It becomes a score (net in) even if the ball touches the net before falling into the companion court. • The player who kicks a serve surely puts a leg (shaft foot) in the service circle, and takes a toss from the player who went into the quoter circle (the semicircle of a radius 90 cm done around the contact point of the center line and the sideline), and kicks the ball.

  7. Start of Play • The “Feeder” or “Striker” will toss the ball to the “Server” and he has to keep one foot in the circle while kicking the ball over. • A point is awarded even if the ball touches the net and land within the court.  The Regu will continue to serve each time they win a point. • Each Regu is allowed up to 3 touches before returning the ball over the net. The player may not use their hands and a player is allowed to have more then one touch.

  8. Scoring System • A point is score once when the Regu hits the ball in bound that the opponent cannot return within 3 touches or when the opponent hits the ball that land out of bound untouched. • Either side can score a point on any serve, but however the Regu who wins a point they will get the next serve. • When either serving side or receiving side commits a fault, a point is awarded to the opponent side including making next service. • A game consists of 2 sets. The winning point for a set is 21 points, unless the point is tied at 20-20, the set shall be decided on a difference of two points, up to a ceiling of 25 points. • If each Regu wins one set, the game shall be decided in the third set called "Tiebreak" with 15 points unless the point is tied at 14-14, then the set shall be decided on a difference of two points, up to a ceiling of 17 points.
