The game is better when it's shared.

04 Our roots

From Sipa to Sepak Takraw

Long before modern courts and nets, Filipinos were already keeping a woven ball in the air.

  1. Then

    Sipa

    From the Filipino word for "kick": a traditional game generations of Filipinos grew up with. A rattan or washer ball is kept aloft with feet, knees, and head, in streets, schoolyards, and barangay plazas.

  2. Across Southeast Asia

    Sepak Takraw

    That shared tradition grew into Sepak Takraw. The name joins the Malay word sepak ("kick") and the Thai word takraw ("woven ball"). Played over a net with no hands allowed, it is one of the region's most spectacular sports and a point of pride for the Philippines.

  3. Now

    Malitbog

    The footwork of sipa is the foundation of Sepak Takraw. MSTC hopes to welcome back the players who grew up with this kind of ball control, and carries that heritage onto the court and on to the next generation.

On the court: the three basic roles

TekongThe server — kicks the ball over the net to start each rally.
FeederThe setter — controls the ball and sets up the attack.
StrikerThe attacker — spikes the ball, often with an acrobatic kick.
