And I quote: "Sepaktakraw is a skill ball game originating from Asia. It combines the teamwork of volleyball, the dexterity of soccer and the finesse of badminton. The most exciting things about the game are the discoveries of how much we can do with our feet.
The game is played by two opposing Regus, a team of three players each, on a court separated by a net similar to badminton. It begins with the service, executed by a ball toss from one player to the Server. Then, the players try to beat their opponents using their legs and head, except their hands, inside three kicks.
The highlight is the "spike". This is the most dramatic and explosive move in the game for spectators to watch as players go mid-air, twisting and turning to power the ball down into the opponent's court."
End quote. This is the first time I've heard of the sport.
