Dear coach,I use my body to touch the table and my friend said its a foul.Is it real?

Hi Chee,

The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your non playing hand. So any other part of your body can touch the table as long as you don't move the surface of the table.

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.

So you can literally stand up on the table? Haha.

Yes you can... but it would be difficult to do without moving the surface of the table.
