    Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is played between two players or teams using paddles and a ball on a table divided by a net. The objective is to score 21 points before your opponent, needing to be ahead by 2 points to win. Players use a ping pong table, net, paddles, and ball to play. Points are scored by being unable to return the ball to the other side of the table after the ball is served or during play. Serving rules require the ball to be tossed and hit so it bounces on the server's side before going over the net to the other side of the table.

    Henry Street High School

    Objective  To score 21 points before your opponent does!

    Equipment  Ping-pong table, net, paddles and ping-pong ball

    Table  9ft by 5ft, dark green matte finish with 2cm white line outlining border and down centre
    Net Divides playing service into 2 halves, and is about 6 in high with the bottom as close to the
    table as possible
    Ball white or orange made of plastic or celluloid with a 40 mm diameter
    Paddle may be of any size, shape or weight but the blade shall be flat and rigid and covered in
    Rubber having a max thickness of 4mm

    Game Play The game is won when one person scores 21 or more points and is 2 points ahead of his or her
    opponent. In other words, you can win with a score of 21-19 but not 21-20. If there is less than 2 points difference
    the game continues until one player is ahead by 2 points.

    Scoring Points The server must be able to serve the ball to the other side of the table or lose a point to the
    opponent. Once the ball is in play, either player can score a point, if the other is unable to return the ball to the other
    side of the table.
    Serving the Ball  The server must throw the ball up at least 6 inches without spin before hitting the ball.
    Flicking the ball to the paddle with the thumb or holding the ball and hitting it are illegal services. The ball must hit
    the table on the server’s side before bouncing over the net. It must be then hit on the table on the other side. If it
    hits the net or goes off an edge without hitting the table on the other side, it is a lost point. If the ball hits the net
    and goes over the other side, it is a let serve. The ball can be served over.
    Doubles Game If it is a doubles game, the ball must be serves across to the opposite court. If it does not
    hit the table on the opposite court, the opponent gets the point.
    Number of Serves In common play, each player serves the ball five times. Then the other player serves.
    There are various methods to determine who serves first.

    Returning the Ball  The second player them tries to return the served ball to the opponent’s side. The ball must
    not hit his or her side the table before going over the net, and it must strike the table on the other side. If it flies off
    the table, the opponent scores a point. The players hit the ball back and forth until
