What is the name of this sport?

Just curious if any of you have ever played this game?

While I was at the Queen’s Cup in Bangkok this week, I wondered around the carnival for a bit.  There was a group of Thai’s playing this game in front of a larger audience.  It was similar to Hacky Sack-with elements of Soccer-and Basketball mixed in…LOL.

Basically they were not allowed to touch the ball with their hands.  Utilizing their feet, chest, and head they would “pump” the ball into the air towards the baskets until someone scored a goal.  I watched the game for about 10 minutes before recording, and they were scoring goals every couple of minutes.  The MINUTE I stopped recording…one of the guys scored  a goal.

Anyways…was just curious if any of you knew the name to this game!?
