Sepak takraw was originally based on a Chinese game of kicking a ball. The sport spread to
Malaysia and Thailand five centuries ago. It was called takraw in Thai or sepak ( literally “ kick a
ball”) in Malay. In 1965, the sport was included in the SEAP Games with the name sepak takraw by
combining the Malaysian and Thai names for the sport.
A match of sepak takraw is played by two teams, each consisting of three players. Players use
their feet and heads to hit a ball, which is made of rattan, over the net. The rules are similar to those of
