How long and wide should a proper table tennis table be?
Hi,
The Table is 9ft or 2.74m by 5ft or 1.525m. The height of the surface off the floor is 76cm and the height of the net is 6in or 15.25cm. Just as a little trick to remember the metric measurements... If you add up the digits within each measure in the metric measurements they all add up to 13... 2 + 7 + 4 etc...
Here is a link to our rules booklet that will also help you if you have any other rules questions.
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.
