Rules

I am wondering if the other player gets a point if you step on the ball. Or is there another penalty?

Hi Michael,

There is no penalty for stepping on the ball unless you do it deliberately.  Usually it happens as an accident.

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.
