Hello Olympians, 

Is there a standard code of hand signs that are used when playing doubles? If so, what are the most used signs and what do they mean?

Hi Fouad,

Take a look at our discussion in this Ask the Coach Show episode, Ask the Coach #14 – Doubles Strategy - Table Tennis Blog where we discuss this.

I hope this helps.
