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.
