Sipa

The Larong Pinoy “Sipa” which literally means kick or to kick is a


home-grown and considered as Philippine national and traditional native
sport which predates the Spanish rule going back to the 15th century. Both
boys and girls play this game. A single person can play sipa by himself/herself but there are
moves to standardize the game with rules and teams.

Materials Needed

Rattan ball- made of rattan strips formed into a hollow ball at least 4inches in diameter is used in
formal games.

Mechanics of the Game

Washer version

It can be played by two or more players. A player tosses the sipa (washer) into the
air and the objective of the player is to prevent the washer from touching the ground through
continuous kicking. Each kick is counted as a point. The player turn ends once the washer is
dropped. A player who can keep the washer in the air wins the game.

Rattan Ball version

A player kicks the ball backwards and forwards and keeps going continuously. It
cannot be touched with any part of the body except knees, legs and feet. In this case, the rattan
ball can touch the ground.

Modern Day Version

The sipa is made up of feather light balls similar to those used in badminton. The
sipa is thrown upwards for the player to toss using only the legs, particularly the area from the
foot up to just above the knee. The player must prevent the sipa touching the ground by kicking
it several times. Each hit kick is counted; the player kicking the Sipa most wins the game. If the
ball touches the ground, one point is awarded to the opposing team.
