PROGRAMS

  1. Though the sport of Sepak Takraw has spread a lot on its own after Asia Presentations and and/or Sepak Takraw Clinics that were presented by ASEC International, now that STAS has incorporated to oversee and govern the development of Sepak Takraw in Saskatchewan, STAS has set out a plan to offer the following programs and encourage Sepak Takraw activities for male and female athletes of all ages and abilities throughout the province:
  • Modified Mini Kicks, for ages 6 – 10: Introduction to Sepak Takraw to young children;
  • Youth Indoor Leagues/Programs, for ages 11 – 14: Indoor Sepak Takraw season, providing opportunities for teams to develop their skills in Elementary/Junior High School, play other teams from other schools, and play in tournaments;
