Hi Jeff and Alois! I was wondering are you able to lift your feet off the ground when you are playing a match? I heard some people say it’s not allowed anymore and I wanted to get a clear answer.

Thanks!

Hi Shaurya,

You definitely are allowed to lift your feet.  In fact I would recommend it to be able to move more efficiently.

Hitting the Ceiling

When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.

Maybe this was with regard to serving and perhaps "stamping" during the serve?
