We're 7 weeks into our training now, & there's now 8 of us (total) that have been learning the game. I wish we could get 8 people to a practice, but it's usually 5. No matter... that's still more than we could get to play footbag. I've tried to avoid being too coachy because I just want people to adjust to playing a new game. I also want everybody to have a good time, so we haven't been running many drills either. Well that's all about to change. Starting Jan 1st, we only have 11 weeks till the official takraw season begins. So we're going to be discussing more strategy - - with less "just kick it over the net" - - & running drills like a group of crazy people. It's my hope that this will not alienate any of our players. If we're gonna run with the big dogs, we need to step it up.

Nintendo DS Includes Takraw + Nashville Update
I don't have a DS, but I just think it's awesome that sepak takraw was included in the new sports package. I did watch the trailer & some kid playing it on youtube & it's doesn't look half bad. It's not that I expect this to do wonders for the sport of takraw. I mean just look at what "California Games" did for hacky sack.... We're 7 weeks into our training now, & there's now 8 of us (total) that have been learning the game. I wish we could get 8 people to a practice, but it's usually 5.
