What is Sepak Takraw?

Sepak Takraw, often referred to as "kick volleyball," is a dynamic team sport originating from Southeast Asia, blending elements of volleyball, soccer, and martial arts. Played on a court similar to a badminton court, it involves two teams of three players each (known as a "regu") or two players (doubles regu), using their feet, knees, chest, shoulders, or head to hit a rattan or synthetic plastic ball over a net. The objective is to score points by landing the ball on the opponent's side of the court, similar to volleyball, but without using hands or arms. The sport is known for its acrobatic movements, including gravity-defying kicks, backflips, and mid-air spikes, requiring exceptional agility, flexibility, coordination, and athleticism.
