Hi Coach,

Is there a min height for kids to play this game?

Hi Shaji,

No there isn't.  If they are playing on a full size table they need to be able to see over the table.  If they are shorter you can also use different types of tables to play on.  We use school tables for the younger children because they are usually at the students height.

It is good to get the young players doing some skills early even if it is not playing on a full size table.
