Hi Muhammad,

Yes after the serve you can move anywhere around the table, even onto the opponents side of the net as long as you don't interfere with the opponent.

Sorry Muhammad, the ball can go off the side of the table.  It does not have to go off the end of the table where the player is standing.  Did I get the meaning this time?

I guess Awais is asking if we can serve on either side of the middle white line.
