Rules
When you throw the ball up in the service, do you can go with the ball jumping with the ball?
And if you throw the ball up and the ball low, can you jump to hit the ball? (in the service)
Hi Alex,
Yes you can jump with the ball in the service and in the rally as well.
Are you allowed to hide your serve in table tennis? 🤔 Let’s break down the official rules and clear up any confusion! In this video, we explain:
✅ What the ITTF rules say about hiding your serve
✅ Why hidden serves are illegal and how umpires enforce the rule
✅ What you can (and can’t) do when serving in a match
Mastering a legal serve is key to fair play and improving your game. Watch now to make sure you’re not unintentionally breaking the rules! 🏓

Although there is nothing in the rules to stop you jumping as you serve, I think it would be best to remain stable and well balanced. This will give you the best chance to serve effectively.
