Sepak Takraw Club - Java Institute

Sepak Takraw, also known as kick volleyball, is a sport that originated in Southeast Asia and is now played worldwide. It is played with a rattan ball and is similar to volleyball, but players use their feet, knees, chest, and head to pass the ball over a net to the opposing team, with the objective of making it touch the ground on their opponent's side. Sepak Takraw can be played individually or in teams, and requires physical agility, coordination, and quick reflexes. It is often played recreationally as well as competitively, with various tournaments and events held globally. Sepak Takraw has gained popularity in recent years, especially in countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
