Sipa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sipa is the Philippines national and traditional native sport which predates Spanish rule.

The game is related to the Sepak Takraw. Similar games include Bossaball, Footbag net, Footvolley and Jianzi.

The game is both played on a large court surface inside an indoor or outdoor field (which is about the size of a modern day tennis court) by 2 teams that consists of 1, 2 or 4 players in each side. The aim of the game is to kick a soft ball made out of rattan fragments, back and forth over a high rise net placed in the middle of the court. The sport requires speed, agility and extremely good ball control.
