equipment of the game, the ball
is spherical in shape and usually
made of synthetic fibre.
The ball can be single coloured or
multi coloured but colours
impairing player’s performance
are not allowed. In order to soften
the impact of the ball on the
player’s body, the ball can be
made of synthetic rubber or any
other soft durable material that is
approved by the governing
committee.
 Net
equipment
The net used in the game is
usually made of ordinary cord
or nylon with 6-8 cm mess and
is usually heavier and stronger
than badminton nets in order to
provide better impact when the
ball hits it. The net shall be
0.7 metres with a maximum
length of 6.1 metres. The
height of the net should be
1.42 metres from the centre of
the court for women and 1.52

Basic Skills
More details
 Inside Kick
Regarded as the most common
and basic kick in sepak takraw, the
inside kick is used for controlling
the ball. This is done with the
inside of the foot, as its name
implies. Stand with your feet apart,
and bend your supporting leg a
little. Hit the ball with the inside
of your other foot.
Outside Kick
Not very commonly used, the
outside kick is a defensive kick
that propels the ball upwards.
To execute an outside kick, the
outside of your foot must make
contact with the ball as your
knee bends inwards. The entire
kicking leg should make a right
angle at the knee, with the calf
and foot pointing outwards.
 Knee Kick
The knee kick actually utilises the
thigh - the ball is hit with the part
of the thigh that is just above your
knee. The stance is reminiscent of
marching, but your knees would
have to be raised as high as
possible. This kick is usually done
by players receiving a serve.
Header
Not unlike a football header, a
header spike in sepak takraw
involves the use of the
forehead to make the ball fly,
especially when it’s too high in
the air for your kick to reach it.
This technique is used for both
serving and striking.
 Sunback Spike
A sunback spike is similar to the
horse kick, but done in a jump. To
master this, take off on one leg
and and kick the other up (a
scissor kick) while still in the air.
Before finishing the jump-kick, hit
the ball over your shoulder or head
with your other leg.
Roll Spike
It refers to jumping on one leg
and flipping in the direction that
you want your ball to move, all
while remaining airborne. Using
the other foot, kick the ball over
your opposite shoulder. You
should perform the entire spike
while still in the air, only landing
after you have made contact
with the ball.
 Horse Kick Serve
A horse kick serve is difficult to accomplish, and
requires a high level of skill and flexibility. The horse
kick actually refers to a high kick; kick as high as you
need the ball to go, and, using your foot, hit the ball
backwards over your shoulder or head.
