How to mark a sepak takraw court
- Fix one end line. Stretch a string line 6.10 m long between two pins.
- Square the corner with 3-4-5. 3 m along the end line, 4 m out along the side; when the gap reads exactly 5 m, the corner is square. Run the side line out to 13.40 m.
- Check both diagonals. Each must read 14.723 m. If they differ, move the corners before marking any line.
- Mark the inner lines.
- Centre line: 0.02 m wide, under the net.
- Service circle: 0.30 m radius, centred 2.45 m from the back line.
- Quarter circle: 0.90 m radius at each end of the centre line.
- Back line: 6.70 m from the centre line.
- Mark to the right edge. Measured to the outside of the boundary line. The line is part of the court, so a ball on the line is in. Mask both sides of every line with tape before painting.
