    opponent's court. A block counts as one contact.

    Centre Line: Divides the length of the playing court into two equal halves.

    Dig: The act of fielding hard-hit ball successfully, usually a spike or block, to regain control. Eg: The dig by

    over the opposite shoulder from the kicking foot with a flip like motion. The most dramatic and popular
    move in the game.

    Indonesia which translates into "kick", and Takraw, a term used in Thailand which means "woven ball".

    same shoulder as the kicking foot. In soccer this is known as a "bicycle kick".

    Takraw Ball: Traditionally, the ball is made by weaving bamboo or rattan into a spherical shape. In 1982,
    Marathon Intertrade Co., Ltd. revolutionisedthe sport by introducing woven synthetic (plastic) balls.
    Today, almost all players around the world are using synthetic takraw balls.

    To Begin Play: The game is initiated when one of the forwards tosses the ball to the back player - the
    "Server" who must keep one foot inside the the serving circle and the other foot outside. The ball must
    be kicked with the foot outside the circle in one attempt over the net.

    Note: A ball hitting the net on the serve is "good".
