Hi Anthony,

The top of the net, along its whole length, is 1,525mm (15.25cm/6 inches) high.

We cover this in our Table Tennis Rules lesson where you can download a brochure or an A3 wall chart to hang up near your Table.

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.
