Look at this Asian sport. I don't know how to pronounce that word, and not to mention that I don't know how to play it. It looks really hard to play. But I would really like to try it. I'm playing football myself, and this is a real challenge for football players. I was reading something about this sport and here is what i found. It is played on a court which is about the size of a badminton court. Two or three players are playing in the field with the hand-woven ball which is called "takraw" on Malay (this sport comes from Malaysia). I must tell my grand mother to weave me one ball like this. The players can play with every part of the body except the hands. The goal of this game is to kick the takraw in the other team field. The name of this sport means "Kick the ball". Because "sepak" means kick, and "takraw" means woven ball as I wrote before. The acrobatic performance of this players is really amazing. I would say that gymnasts can play this sport easier than a football player can. You can watch the video here.
