Sepak Takraw is a popular sports game in South East Asia, whose name comes from two languages. Sepkk means kick in Malay, and takraw means ball in Thai. The sport is believed to come from a traditional Chinese game.
Played on a court with a rattan ball, Sepak Takraw is basically a cross between volleyball and football. With three people on each side, players have to keep the ball in play using their feet, chest, head, or knee. Committing a foul will offer a point to the opposing team. The team with 21 points on a set will win that set. The team who wins the first two sets is the winner.
