Table Tennis

Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a popular indoor sport that was first played in 1864 as a parlor game. The sport's governing body, the International Table Tennis Federation, was formed in 1926. Table tennis is played by hitting a ball back and forth using paddles on a table divided by a net. Players must allow the ball to bounce once on their side before returning it and cannot hit the ball twice in a row or allow it to bounce more than once on their side. Points are scored when an opponent fails to properly return or serve the ball. Matches consist of the best of three or five games to 21 points, with a two point lead needed to win.
