Luigi Alcantara Asked 13 years ago

Hi Alois and Jeff,

So i saw your video "Table tennis Exhibition By pingskills" i was wondering if alois service was legal at about 0:44 seconds.

I've seen that serve for the second time now so i was just curious.

Hi Luigi,

It certainly is illegal. You aren't allowed to catch the ball after you throw it up.

Doubles Serving Rules

In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
