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.

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.

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.
