Cambodian'' Kicker'' Game

We have noticed in Cambodia, especially when we were in Kampong Cham ,the local people play a skillful game in the evening when it is cooler and before it goes dark.

What is used to play the game , a Shuttlecock

I mentioned I’d seen the game to our language teacher Dara and he kindly bought for me, from the market ,what they kick around which I can only describe as a Shuttlecock.
It seems a very social game with laughing and chatting as they kick the shuttlecock between them with the aim to keep it up in the air and to set your opposite number up with something they can return and therefore keep the flow.
I think to be really skillful you need to have been playing since your school days?
Some people seem to get quite flash and kick with the side of their heels.
Hope you get the idea from the short video.
