 Rules and Regulations of the Game
The sepak takraw rules are simple, especially if you are familiar with
volleyball and football (soccer). The object is to score points against the other
team by touching their side of the court with the ball, or by the other team
committing a “fault”.

A “fault” is committed when one team does one of the following:

▪ Kicks the ball out of bounds ▪ Tekong (server) makes contact

▪ A team exceeds 3 touches before without being on the ground on a
returning the ball across the net serve
▪ Touches ball with arm or hand ▪ Tekong does not make contact on
serve

RON LOREN
 Rules and Regulations of the Game
▪ Touching the net
▪ The ball hits the ceiling or ground

Again, sepak takraw rules are similar to football (soccer) contact rules, players are
not allowed to touch the ball with arms or hands – everything else is fair game.

The sepak takraw rules that overlap with volleyball rules are the 3 touches, not
touching the net, and not allowing the ball to touch the ground on your side of
the court.

The first team to get 21 pts. – leading by at least 2 pts – is declared the winner of
the set. The team that wins 2 sets first is declared the winner.
