    Sipa 

    (from the Tagalog word ‘to kick’) is a favorite


    traditional sport in the Philippines. Both boys and girls play
    this sport.
    A single person can play sipa by himself or herself, but there
    are moves to standardize the game with rules and teams.

    Sipa is related to the Indonesian/Malaysian game sepak


    takraw, and the sports authorities are trying to
    develop sipa into a team sport to be played with a net
    as sepak takraw is, but that is not how Filipino children
    traditionally play it.
    Filipinos started playing Sipa in the 15th century before the
    Philippines was colonised by Spain. Sipa was even
    considered the Philippines’ national sport before Arnis
    replaced it in 2009 during the administration of former
    President Gloria-Macapagal Arroyo.
    RULES
    The game is played on a court surface, about the size of a modern day
    tennis court, either indoors or outdoorsa – by 2 teams consisting of 1, 2
    or 4 players on each side. The aim is to kick the ball (rattan, cane, and
    wicker) back and forth over a high rise net in the middle of the court.
    Sipa is thrown upwards for the
    player toss using only the leg,
    particularly the area from the
    foot until above the knee.the
    player must prevent the Sipa
    touching the ground by hitting
    it several times. Each hit is
    counted the player kicking the
    Sipa most wins the game.
