Sepak Takraw courts

The Sepak Takraw court is standard in size , 13.4 m X 6.1 m (20 ft. X 44

ft.), which makes Takraw very easy to introduce into schools as a new sport.

Takraw may be played indoors or outdoors.

The playing surface must be flat, horizontal and uniform. The width of the

lines bounding the court should be .04 m (1 1/2; inches) measured and

drawn inward from the outer edge of the court measurements. Court

boarders should be at least 3 m (about 10 feet) away from all obstacles.

Centre Line: The centre line of .02 m (1 inch) should be drawn equally

dividing the right and left court.

Quarter Circles: At the corner of each centre line, a quarter circle shall be

drawn from the side boundary line to the centre line with a radius of .9 m (3

ft.) measured and drawn from the outer edge of the .9 m (3 ft.) radius and

side boundary line.

The Service Circle: The service circle of .3 m (1 ft.) radius shall be drawn

on each half of the court, the centre of which is 2.45 m (8 ft.) in from the

baseline of the court and 3.05 m (10 ft.) in from the sidelines. The service

circle is measured and drawn from the centre to the outward edge of the .3

m (1 ft.) radius.

Height of the Net: 1.52 m (5 ft.) at the centre and 1.55 m (5ft. 1 inch) at the

posts for men; 1.42 m (4 ft. 8 inches) at the centre and 1.45 m (4 ft. 9

inches) at the posts for women. Many schools simply use their badminton

nets for Takraw (but of course they will eventually wear out faster).

Height of the Posts: ISTAF regulations call for the posts to be1.55 m (5 ft. 1

inch), but any badminton or volleyball posts may easily be used as long as

the net is secured to the desired height.

Free Area: An area of 3m (or 10 feet) outside the court boundaries should

be free of obstacles.
