Sepak Takrow is Volleyball in its very nature, but the only catch is, everything can be used except the hands to pass the ball on the other side. This game is physical at it's very best and is fun to watch. Probably more than Volleyball itself. Sepak Takrow is expected to be played in the 2022 Olympics and can gain significant acclaim from there.

More importantly, the game is played with a ball made of dried palm leaves. In Malaysia, the game is called sepak raga/sepak takraw or takraw. A sport native to South East Asia is played extensively in countries like Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Laos.
