NetPro Sports Co. in Something Directory

 

Our mission is to further the growth of the sport of Sepak Takraw through synergetic efforts, while promptly and professionally delivering the highest quality of Sepak Takraw equipment, materials and expertise. NETPRO Sports works directly with Gajah Emas (Malaysia) in the manufacturing of appealing, top quality Sepak Takraw equipment suitable for all levels and ages of players around the world. NETPRO Sports also cooperates with Asian Sport, Education & Culture (ASEC) International (Canada) and the Sepak Takraw Association of Canada (STAC) in the development, production and publication of superb educational, instructional and entertaining Sepak Takraw books and videos. NETPRO Sports grew out of the passion of one man, Rick Engel, whose life was changed forever after cross-cultural experiences in Asia. He saw the world in a different way and recognized a need for a better understanding of Asia within Canadian society in general, and felt there was not enough being done to combat stereotyping, prejudice and racism. He left a successful teaching career in 1993 and began piloting a program that eventually grew into Asian Sport, Education & Culture International (ASEC), a non-profit organization whose mandate was to “Build Bridges of Understanding Between Cultures”. Sport and recreation, along with cultural and educational programs, have proven to be effective catalysts in the process of cross-cultural ‘bridge building’. Though ASEC was a cultural organization that had a strong focus on conducting Asia Presentations in schools, part of its goals were also to assist in the development and growth of Sepak Takraw (Takraw for short, also known as Kick Volleyball), and as such, added the sport to its list of unique activities that students could try right in their own Canadian schools. Volunteering and contracting himself out, Rick was an ideal person to introduce Sepak Takraw into the schools during ASEC presentations. He had originally learned how to play Sepak Takraw from local Lao Canadians and from training camps in Asia, established the Sepak Takraw Association of Canada (STAC), organized and played in many provincial and national Takraw tournaments in Canada (earning a medal in most of them) and led teams to compete in the world championships in Thailand and Malaysia. He has been a player/coach for Canada’s national team since 1999. Rick has also received his International Coaching and Refereeing Certificates from the International Sepaktakraw Federation (ISTAF) after attending the respective courses in Asia and being an Assistant Umpire in the King’s Cup Sepak Takraw World Championships.
