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.
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.
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.
