Coach,

What happens if you drop your paddle during a play?

Hi Andrew,

You can pick it up again but you aren't allowed to hit the ball if you haven't got the paddle in your hand.

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.

Also, Jeff was putting his free-hand on the table! :]

Nice pickup Ian. Luckily for me Alois hit the ball with his hand before I put my free hand on the table so I'm going to claim the point!
