Double Play positioning
Rules
Marcel VanCamp Asked 11 years ago
For doubles play- does the serving team set their positions first and then the receiving team or is there another sequence that is to be followed?

Hi Marcel,
In the first game, the server decides who is serving first and the receiving team is then allowed to decide who is going to receive. Often in doubles the team winning the toss will decide to receive first for this purpose.
In the next game the roles are reversed but you do have to hit to the other player.

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.
