Can I catch the ball when serving?

Rules

Oliver Asked 14 years ago

If you toss the ball up, can you catch it again and perform the serve again or does the serve start when you toss it up and cannot be repeated?

Hi Oliver,

The serve starts as soon as the ball leaves the hand so if you catch it again you lose the point.

Hitting the Ceiling

When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
