History of Sepak Takraw
Origin
The word ‘Sepak’ is of Malay origin used
for ‘kick’ while the word ‘takraw’ is of Thai
origin that means ‘muzzle’ or ‘woven rattan ball’.
Overall, the name is known as Sepak Takraw which
means “to kick a rattan ball”. This name was
finalized after a meet in Kuala
Lumpur in 1960 between Malaysia and Thailand.
Moreover, in the past it was known as “Sepak Raga

Jaring” in Malaysia, in which the term ‘Jaring’ meant
‘net’ in Malay that was added to the
traditional “Sepak Raga” game by Hamid
Mydin (recognized as the creator and founder of
Sepak Takraw) in Penang in 1945.
History
Sepak was originated in Malaysia about 500 years ago. It was
mostly played by the royal court in the 15th century. The
game spread across Indonesia, where it got popularized
amongst people in the name of Sepak Raga around 16th
century. Later on, by 1940 the sport spread across Southeast
Asia and the formation of official rules and regulations took
place.
The first official Sepak Takraw competition was held at
a swim club in the year 1945 in Penang. The teams which
took part in the competition belonged to the various villages
of Penang. During this period, the game was known by the
name “Sepak Raga Jaring”.
The Malaysian Sepak Raga Federation was founded
in 1960 at Penang and later in 1965 it was included in South
East Asia Peninsular Games. It was only after this that the
sport was named officially as Sepak Takraw.

Gameplay
Positions
The main job of the server or Tekong is to serve the ball. The server
SERVER usually hits the ball across the net with great speed making it difficult
for the opponent players to defend.
The striker or killer is the main person to execute the volleys in to opponent side
with high speed. When the striker does not possess the ball, he usually tries
to block high kicks from the opponent side.
STRIKER
The third player is the feeder who has the maximum control over the ball during the
match. The main job of the feeder is to set the ball in a suitable way for the striker to
kick hard such that it passes through the net.
FEEDER
Usually the Server stands in the back whereas the striker and the feeder take the
front left side and the front right side.
SHOTS AND TECHNIQUES
INSIDE KICK
An inside kick is the most basic form of

kick that is used to control the ball. In
this shot, the players have to stand with
their feet apart and then
by bending the supporting leg a little,
they need to hit the ball in upward
direction using the inside of the other leg.
OUTSIDE KICK
An outside kick is used as

a defensive shot and is played
while defending a serve from the
opponent side. During this shot
the players try to raise the
knee as high as possible.
HEADER
The header shot in this game is

played using the forehead to hit the
ball and make it fly. This shot is
performed only when the ball height
is too high that the shot cannnot be
performed using their legs. This shot
is played in both striking and
serving.
HORSE KICK
SERVE
This is a difficult shot to

perform. In this, the player needs
to perform a high kick and for
that the player needs to use his
foot to hit the ball in backward
direction over his shoulder or
head.
SUNBACK SPIKE
This shot is quite similar to

the Horse Kick Serve. The only
difference is that the shot is
performed with a jump. In this
shot, the player has to jump on
one of the leg while using the
other to hit the ball.
ROLL SPIKE
One of the toughest and most

stylish shot where the player
kicks the ball in backward
direction over his shoulders or
head before finishing the kick and
touching the ground.
