PROGRAMS

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:
