sbk Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Net takraw, or sepak takraw is played similarly to volleyball, but with the feet. My husband played it when I first met him, when he was young and limber. Its a great game to watch with some incredible feats of athletic ability. My husband was good at spiking the ball across the net. In this manner (but this is not him, he's a bit old for it now ): Here is some video from Google video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
