Description Takraw is a traditional Thai volleyball that has been a beloved pastime among Thai people since the Ayutthaya era. Teams consisting of six or seven players use various body parts to serve and return a rattan ball. In an evolution in the 1920s, a configuration of three hoops with attached nets was hung at a height of 4–5 m, into which players try to propel the ball. Around the 1950s, Hoop Takraw gained widespread popularity and was formalized, with a tournament held each year during the Thai sports festival season. This video explains the rules of Takraw and demonstrates the acrobatic kicking techniques players use to score points.
