Basic Skills of Speak

Takraw
Often involving agility, flexibility, and strength, sepak takraw is a sport that combines many different
kicks, spikes, and serves. These range from basic ones that most beginners would be able to pick up
easily, to the more acrobatic kinds that require long periods of training and practice to execute
flawlessly.

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.

Basic Skills of Speak

Takraw
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.

Basic Skills of Speak

Header
Takraw
•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.

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.

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
•A simple roll spike 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.
