What is table tennis?

• Table tennis, also known as ping-

pong , is a sport in which one or two
players hit a lightweight ball back and
forth across a table using small rackets.
The game takes place on a hard table
divided by a net. Except for the initial
serve, the rules are generally as
follows: players must allow a ball
played toward them to bounce one
time on their side of the table, and
must return it so that it bounces on
the opposite side at least once. A point
is scored when a player fails to return
the ball within the rules. Play is fast
and demands quick reactions. Spinning
the ball alters its trajectory and limits
an opponent's options, giving the
hitter a great advantage.

 Rules of Playing Table Tennis

1. The service must start with the ball in an open palm. This

stops you from throwing it up with spin.
2. The ball must be thrown vertically, at least 16 cm. This
stops you from serving straight out of your hand and
surprising your opponent.
3. The ball must be above and behind the table throughout
the serve. This stops you getting any silly angles and gives
your opponent a fair chance at returning.
4. After throwing the ball, the server must get their free arm
and hand out of the way. This is to allow the receiver to see
the ball.

International Table Tennis Federation
