Advantages of a Sepak Takraw Program:
- Very inexpensive, due to minimal equipment - uses your badminton courts, nets, poles (which you already have), and a set of 8 woven balls plus Instructional materials are available from NETPRO SPORTS through MAP for just $150-$200 (35% discount);
- With only 3 players on a team (max of 5), competition travel is also very inexpensive and it is much easier for smaller rural schools to field teams and compete against other schools;
- Develops eye-foot coordination, is excellent cross-training for soccer, and is a FUN game for the whole family to play anywhere, promoting active living for a healthy life;
- Can be played indoor and outdoor; as a team sport over the net or a group or solo activity just keeping the ball up without using hands;
- Is super easy to modify for any age or ability level ... EVEN THE PROVINCIAL TOURNAMENT NOW INCLUDES A CO-ED, YOUTH (11-14 yrs.) DIVISION PLAYING MODIFIED GAMES.
