Hi,

My question is how much distance is legal from table during   serve, because I saw some people serve from 1 feet away from table, is that legal in serve?

Hi Uzair,

You can serve from as far away as you want.  Just needs to be behind the line of the end of the table or the extension of that line.

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.
