Rules
For a serve can I bounce the ball on my side then hit it directly to the other side
Hi Kareem,
You are not allowed to do that. The ball has to hit the bat before it hits the table on your side.
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.

Thanx by the way I already new about that rule I was just helping my friend learn how to play ping pong. And it helped him a lot.
