In St. Paul, a popular Southeast Asian sport that resembles hands-free volleyball has gained permanent playing space.

Sepak Takraw USA will host a grand opening ceremony on Saturday for new playing courts at the Duluth and Case Recreation Center.

The dedication will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the center, 1020 Duluth St., and feature dance performances, an opening reception and a demonstration.

In February 2017, the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee gave St. Paul Parks and Recreation $100,000 toward four sepak takraw courts, including two outside Duluth and Case and two at Marydale Park off Maryland Avenue and Dale Street.

The event is hosted by Sepak Takraw of USA, Inc., St. Paul Parks Conservancy and St. Paul Parks and Recreation.
