Unusual sport

Sepak takraw
This new sport is similar to volleyball because it
involves passing a ball between two teams and
scoring points when it touches the opponent’s
ground. Three contacts are allowed between the 3
teammates of each team who take place at the
same time on the ground which is, itself, separated
by a net.

The major difference between the two sports is
that the arms and hands are totally forbidden, so
you have to use the feet, head, knees or other to
play. Also, the same player can make 2 contacts
in a row without being penalized so it leads to
different plays. It’s definitely a strange sport that
promises.

• The modern version of Sepak Takraw was first introduced, developed and
standardized in 1960, when officials from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and
Myanmar met in Kuala Lumpur to agree on both a common set of rules for the
sport and a name.[1] Prior to this, it was unofficially known as "Sepak Raga
Jaring", which was first was exhibited in Penang in 1945. The sport was then
introduced in the 1965 Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur as a medal
event. Sepak Takraw is considered Malaysia's national sport. Sepak Takraw is
governed internationally by the International Sepaktakraw Federation,
commonly known as ISTAF, that was formed in 1988. ISTAF is responsible for
Sepak Takraw's major international tournaments, notably the ISTAF
SuperSeries (ISS) and ISTAF World Cup (IWC). Other prestigious annual
international Sepak Takraw tournaments include Malaysia's Khir Johari Cup
and Thailand's King Cup.
