The following is the content of table tennis teaching: * * 1. In terms of preparation ** 1. Prepare the venue and equipment - Make sure that there is enough space around the table tennis table and that there is no debris blocking it. Choose a table tennis bat and table tennis ball that suits you. 2. Gripping method - [Horizontal grip: Place your palm on the top of the racket, and your thumb and index finger form a ring to hold the racket handle. This grip is popular in modern table tennis techniques and is suitable for many styles of play.] - [Straight Grip: The palm of the hand is close to the racket face, similar to the posture of holding a knife. It is suitable for some players who like to close the table and attack quickly or play traditional games.] * * 2. Basic posture ** When standing, you must maintain your balance. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, your knees slightly bent, your body slightly tilted forward, and your arms relaxed to catch the ball. * * 3. Serve Skill ** 1. Relax your arms - When serving, it was important to relax the arms. By twisting the upper body, the ball would have a curve and spin. 2. Type of serve - According to the opponent's position and strategy, he could choose different serve methods, such as the following spin ball (the ball's rotation direction is downward, so that the ball bounces lower and has less forward momentum after landing), topspin ball (the ball's rotation direction is upward, so that the ball bounces higher and has greater forward momentum after landing), horizontal spin ball, etc. * * 4. Key Points of Receiving a Serve ** 1. observe and judge - Focus on the arc and direction of rotation of the opponent's serve. This was the prerequisite for receiving a good serve. 2. adjust the response - He adjusted his position and swing angle to adapt to the rotation of the serve, so as to better control the ball's landing point. * * 5. Power Control ** When serving and receiving the ball, one must precisely control the strength of the ball and improve the accuracy of the strength control through continuous practice. * * 6. Movement and Counterattack ** 1. flexible body - Maintain a flexible posture when hitting the ball and have the ability to react quickly. 2. Moving Counterattack - Quickly move to a suitable position according to the ball's landing point to return the ball. At the same time, you must take into account the accuracy of control, the opponent's position, and the strategy of hitting the ball. * * 7. Practice suggestions ** 1. practice alone - You can practice some basic movements repeatedly, such as holding the racket, serving, and simple hitting movements. 2. Combat practice - Fight against other players and improve your skills and reaction time in real life. The improvement of table tennis skills required continuous practice and patience.

The preliminary teaching of table tennis covered the following aspects: 1. * * Gripping Method **: - * * Penhold **: - * * Fast attack type **: When holding the racket, the thumb in front of the racket is close to the left side of the racket handle, and the index finger is clasped on the racket handle to form a small ring. After the racket, the three fingers naturally bend to support the middle of the racket. - * * Loop type **: It is roughly the same as the fast attack type, but the back fingers are naturally straight, and the first knuckle of the middle finger is placed on the middle of the back of the racket. - * * Chop Style **: Before the racquet, bend your thumb and press it against the left side of the racket handle. After the racquet, the other four fingers will naturally separate and support the back of the racquet. When chopping with the forehand, rotate your forearm to make the racket lean back. When chopping with the backhand, the four fingers behind the racquet will shake flexibly to make the racket handle face down. - * * Horizontal Racquet **: The middle finger, ring finger, and little finger naturally hold the racket handle. The thumb is on the front of the racket and lightly sticks to the middle finger. The index finger is naturally straight and diagonally placed on the back of the racket. The thumb and forefinger of a shallow grip were slightly attached to the racket, and the thumb and forefinger of a deep grip were tightly attached to the racket. 2. * * Basic posture of playing basketball **: Prepare for the action of slightly bending the knees of both legs, pulling the right leg back, standing with both feet slightly wider than shoulder width (the center of gravity of the right hand holding the racket is inclined to the right foot, and the left hand holding the racket is the opposite), holding the racket in front of the abdomen, relaxing the body and holding the racket tightly. 3. [Basic Steps]: - Single Step: With one foot as the axis, the other foot moves forward, backward, left, and right in different directions. The body's center of gravity falls on the moving foot. - * * Step **: With one foot on the ground, the other foot takes a big step in the direction of movement. After the foot is pushed off, it will follow half a step or a small step, and the body's center of gravity will shift to the step foot. - * * Parallel Step **: One foot takes half a step or a small step toward the other foot, and the other foot takes a step toward the ball after the parallel step falls to the ground. In addition, there were also important points in terms of strength: 1. * * Braking process **: When you swing the racket, you must have a process of braking from loosening to tightening. You can experience the instantaneous explosive force by practicing the sudden loosening to grasping the ball when you lose the ball, so that the swing has the feeling of catching the ball instantly and letting the power hit the ball. 2. * * Combined force **: To improve the quality of the ball, the swing must be combined with the incoming ball. In other words, the direction of the swing must collide with the direction of the ball. 3. * * Hit Point **: The rate of hitting the ball on the stage is higher during the high point period. In the later stage of the rise (during the rise), the strength can be used to make the return ball of higher quality. High-level athletes usually hit the ball during the rise period. 4. * * Force exerting part **: The force exerting part of the table tennis ball mainly depends on the forearm and wrist. The forearm plays an auxiliary role in guiding the racket and exerting force. It is very important for the forearm to suddenly retract. The wrist plays a decisive role in the force exerting part of the table tennis ball. 5. * * Wrist state **: The wrist should be relaxed to avoid stiffness. A relaxed wrist will vibrate quickly to enhance the hitting effect. High-level athletes will have a relaxed wrist when handling the ball, which will allow them to better rub, hit, and fine-tune the route. 6. * * racket tightness **: When the player can stabilize the movement, the forearm can exert good strength, and the wrist can be relaxed appropriately, the racket can be slightly loosened before exerting strength. The quality will be higher. While watching the Olympics, you can also read the wonderful novels related to the Olympics!
For children's table tennis teaching, the following aspects can be used as reference: ** 1. Selection of educational videos ** 1. ** Beginner Stage ** - The children could watch 50 episodes of Good Ping-Pong. This educational film had a strong lineup, with Xu Yinsheng, the former president of the International Table Tennis Federation, and Li Furong, the former deputy director of the General Administration of Sports, as technical advisors. Zhang Xiaopeng, China's first table tennis doctor, was the on-screen coach. It showed the history of table tennis, basic movements, mainstream styles, common footwork, classic tactics and other aspects in a panoramic manner, so that children could have a comprehensive understanding of table tennis. - The "Table Tennis Basics" series was also suitable for children's teaching, helping them lay a foundation in table tennis. - Also, from 0 to 11, you can choose the content of Guo Yan's table tennis lessons. 2. ** Advanced Stage ** - When the child had a certain foundation, they could watch the Gu Yunfeng teaching series of Sticka V table tennis, which would help the child further improve his table tennis skills. ** 2. Basic Skills Teaching ** 1. ** How to hold the racket ** - Penhold Racquet (Fast Attack): When holding the racket, the thumb in front of the racket is close to the left side of the racket handle, and the index finger clasps the racket handle to form a small ring. After the racket, the three fingers naturally bend to hold the middle of the racket. - Penhold Racquet (Loop Racquet): It is roughly the same as the fast-attack type, but the back fingers are naturally straight, and the first knuckle of the middle finger is placed on the middle of the back of the racket. - Penhold Rap (Cut Ball Style): Before the racquet, bend your thumb and press it against the left side of the racquet handle. After the racquet, the other four fingers will naturally support the back of the racquet. When chopping the ball with the forehand, the forearm will rotate backward to make the racket lean backward. When chopping the ball with the backhand, the four fingers behind the racket will shake flexibly to make the racket handle downward. - ** Horizontal Racquet **: The middle finger, ring finger, and little finger naturally hold the racket handle. The thumb is on the front of the racket and lightly sticks to the middle finger. The index finger is naturally straight and diagonally placed on the back of the racket. When the grip is shallow, the web between the thumb and forefinger is slightly close to the racket; when the grip is deep, the web between the thumb and forefinger is close to the racket. 2. ** Basic postures for playing basketball ** - When preparing for the action, bend your knees slightly, pull your right leg back, stand slightly wider than your shoulders (the center of gravity of the right hand is inclined to the right foot, and the left hand is the opposite), hold the racket in front of your abdomen, relax your body and hold the racket tightly. 3. ** Basic Steps ** - Single Step: With one foot as the axis, the other foot moves forward, backward, left, and right in different directions. The body's center of gravity falls on the moving foot. - ** Step **: With one foot on the ground, the other foot takes a big step in the direction of movement. After the foot is pushed off, it will follow half a step or a small step, and the body's center of gravity will shift to the step foot. - ** Parallel Step **: One foot takes half a step or a small step toward the other foot, and the other foot takes a step toward the ball after the parallel step falls to the ground. ** 3. Teaching of force exertion techniques ** 1. ** Braking process ** - When the child exerted strength, the swing should have a process of braking from loose to tight. For example, by practicing how to suddenly grab the ball with his hand and feel the instantaneous explosive force, he could hit the ball with the force when he swung the racket. 2. ** Problem of working together ** - The swing had to combine force with the incoming ball to produce mass. The flying direction of the ball and the direction of the swing had to form a joint force to meet the collision. 3. ** Hit Point ** - Children should be taught to find a good hitting point. The higher the chance of hitting the ball during the high point, the higher the quality of the ball. High-level athletes usually hit the ball during the rising phase. 4. ** Power Point ** - Inform the child that the strength of the table tennis ball mainly depends on the forearm and wrist, and the big arm plays an auxiliary role. It was very important for the forearm to suddenly retract and exert force, and the wrist played a decisive role in exerting force in table tennis. 5. ** Relax your wrist ** - Children should relax their wrists when playing. Many children had great strength but no quality because their wrists were too stiff. Relaxing the wrist would allow rapid vibration, which could increase the strength by 5 - 10 times. It could also better rub, hit, and change the route. 6. ** The beat is tight ** - After a long period of training, the child could stabilize his movements, exert strength in his forearm, and relax his wrist appropriately. He could loosen the racket slightly before exerting strength. While watching the Olympics, you can also read the wonderful novels related to the Olympics!
Forehand play in children's table tennis introductory teaching included the following points: 1. ** Basic posture **: Left foot in front, right foot behind, racket in front of abdomen, center of gravity between feet and slightly forward to facilitate starting, abdomen and chest, knee joint slightly bent. 2. ** Choice of position **: If the racquet is held with the right hand, the forehand will be positioned on the right side of the approach table; if the racquet is held with the left hand, the forehand will be positioned on the left side of the approach table. 3. ** Ripping action **: Ripping position is generally below the right side of the waist, with the right shoulder slightly lowered. By turning the waist to drive the arm to pull the racket, the elbow joint is almost always in a straight line with the hand. You can't rely solely on the arm to exert strength, and you must pay attention to the forearm to drive the elbow joint to move. The elbow joint is neither tilted nor clamped. 4. ** Body coordination **: The strength is transmitted from the bottom to the top. The sequence is the calf, thigh, hip joint, waist, shoulder, elbow, wrist, fingers, and finally the moment the racket hits the ball. During this process, the hip joint should be pushed forward appropriately, and the waist and abdomen should be tightened to concentrate the strength. 5. ** Key Points of Batting **: - ** Plate type **: When pulling the ball, the plate type should not be too forward to avoid excessive friction and insufficient forward force of the ball. It should also not be too low or turned out. When pulling the backspin and topspin balls, the back of the ball will rub against the top of the racket. - ** Hit Time **: The hit time of the pull forward loop is at the beginning of the drop, and the laga loop also has its corresponding hit time. In addition, during the teaching process, attention should be paid to correcting the typical problems that may occur when children play with their forehands, such as curling their wrists, hooking their wrists, swinging their entire arms (the elbow is raised because the arm is too large), excessively pinching the arm and not stretching it, excessively curling the index finger, etc. The most common problem for amateur children is the lack of coordination between the body and the hand. The hand is often more anxious than the body, resulting in the hand to shoot too fast. Children should be guided to use the rotation of the body to lead and swing the racket. If the child's arm is clamped due to stiffness (the arm and the body are very close and the arm is close to the body), you can use the multi-ball towel clamp method, single-ball towel clamp method, or relaxation method to correct it.

The following are some table tennis tricks: ** 1. Unique Skill of Serve ** 1. ** Side spin serve ** - This was a common and effective serve in a match. When you serve, you should spin the ball sideways to make it curve in the air. As a result, it was difficult for the opponent to accurately predict the ball's landing point, and the difficulty of receiving the ball increased greatly. 2. ** No spin serve ** - In the serve position, the feet were shoulder-width apart, the body was balanced, the arms were relaxed, and the racket face was vertical to the ball. serve with the ball rolling along the table with little or no rotation. - In terms of timing, it is recommended to quickly counterattack after the opponent receives the serve. This way, the opponent will not have time to adjust his posture and increase the probability of receiving the ball. - Pay attention to the strength and direction of the serve. The strength should be moderate to prevent the ball from flying out of the boundary. The direction should be chosen in an area that the opponent is unfamiliar with, such as a corner or the sideline. At the same time, he had to improve the accuracy and stability of his serve. He had to constantly hone his skills in daily practice and strengthen the coordination between his palm and arm. 3. ** Backspin serve ** - After the ball landed on the platform, it would jump back quickly. It was a kind of backspin ball. 4. ** Left Spinning Serve ** - The ball that was served turned to the left of the opponent. 5. ** Right spin serve (reverse spin serve)** - After the ball landed on the table, it turned to the right hand side of the opponent. The hook and reverse spin serve were all right hand spin balls, so you could start with the hook serve that was easy to learn. ** 2. Unique skill to catch the ball ** 1. ** Pushing the ball ** - When receiving the ball, he would use a push to bounce the ball back. This method could change the speed and angle of the ball, making it difficult for the opponent to receive the ball accurately. 2. ** Backhand Side Pull ** - When receiving the ball, use the backhand to pull the ball to the side. The angle of the ball will change, increasing the difficulty of the opponent receiving the ball. 3. ** Front Hand Loop ** - When receiving the ball, use your front hand to arc the ball upward, making the arc of the ball larger, making it difficult for the opponent to receive the ball accurately. In addition to the technical points of these unique skills, if you want to master these table tennis unique skills, you need to keep practicing and practicing, so that you can use them flexibly in the game.

" Thoughts on the Video Teaching of Table Tennis " After watching the table tennis video, he gained a lot. The explanation of table tennis skills in the teaching was meticulous. For example, there are clear rules for each part of the service action, from the posture to the strength. This made me realize that the technical movements of table tennis are a system that requires the coordination of various parts. In the aspect of hitting the ball, whether it was the forehand or the backhand, the technique of exerting force was emphasized. For example, when I pull the ball with my backhand, the movement range is small and it is easier to concentrate my strength. It made me understand the importance of using my physical strength reasonably. At the same time, the video also showed that table tennis was not only a competition of skills, but also a test of concentration and reaction speed. The ball is fast and requires players to make instant judgments and reactions. This reminds us that we can't only focus on technique during practice, but also improve our own reaction ability. In addition, the video also showed the continuous development of table tennis techniques. Some of the seemingly advanced techniques, such as twisting and pulling, now had simple and easy entry methods. This made me feel that the charm of table tennis lies in constant exploration and progress. While watching the Olympics, you can also read the wonderful novels related to the Olympics!
The following are some key points in teaching penhold table tennis: ** 1. Grip method ** The grip of a penhold racket was that the racket was sandwiched between the thumb, index finger, and the other three fingers. If a beginner wanted to learn Ma Lin's delicate style, he could hold the racket handle with his thumb and index finger tightly while bending the other three fingers to hold the back of the racket. If he wanted to learn Wang Hao's horizontal technique, he could hold the racket handle with his thumb and index finger tightly while straightening his fingers to hold the back of the racket. ** 2. Technique features and application ** 1. ** Serve ** - Pen-hold players had a natural advantage in serving. They could use the flexibility of their wrists to make a variety of shots. When serving, one should pay attention to the changes in rotation, speed, and landing point. For example, by rubbing different parts of the ball to create topspin, backspin, or sidespin, it would make it difficult for the opponent to determine the direction of rotation of the ball and disrupt the opponent's receiving rhythm. 2. ** Forehand Strike ** - The penhold grip's forehand shot could make full use of the wrist movement. At the moment of hitting the ball, the speed and rotation of the ball could be increased by the rapid movement of the wrist. When hitting the ball, the center of gravity of the body should be shifted from back to front, the arm should coordinate the force, and pay attention to the position and timing of the ball to ensure the quality of the ball. 3. ** Backhand Shot ** - The traditional penhold backhand shot had certain limitations, and the backhand grip had greater constraints. However, you can use the backhand push technique, which has good stability. When fighting against a player with a horizontal racket, it has a certain defensive ability against the backhand attack of the horizontal racket or the ability to turn defense into attack. The modern penhold racket also had the backhand backhand technique, which was to turn the racket and attack with the backhand. Wang Hao was the representative of the penhold backhand technique. 4. ** On-stage ball handling ** - Pen-hold players had high wrist flexibility and were able to display delicate techniques when dealing with the ball on the table. For example, he could skillfully control the rotation and landing point of the ball, making it difficult for the opponent to launch a strong attack in the ring. 5. ** Tactical Use ** - When playing against a player with a shake-hand grip, you should play to the advantage of the first three boards and the handling of the ball inside the table. For example, using the tactic of moving the right and pressing the left to find a chance to score by mobilizing the opponent's left and right movements. This tactic could also be used repeatedly to increase the flexibility of the tactic, making it impossible for the opponent to accurately determine the landing point of the return ball. ** 3. Development direction and reference ** If pen-hold style was to be developed, it couldn't be conservative. On the basis of maintaining its own characteristics (such as flexible wrists, delicate ball inside the table, etc.), it was necessary to integrate the advantages of the horizontal board play. In terms of offense and defense of the backhand and backhand, the strong strength and stability of the horizontal board style were used to make the penhold style more competitive.

For the teaching of table tennis beginners, the following methods can be used: 1. ** Board Holding Practice **: - Horizontal board: Hold the handle gently with three or four fingers, the tiger's mouth is attached to the shoulder, the center of the tiger's mouth is opposite to the side of the ball plate, the inner side of the thumb is attached to the rubber of the hand, and the index finger is straightened and basically attached to the rubber of the backhand without rising. The three fingers of the straight board grip should not be separated. It should be based on the comfort you feel. At the same time, the tightness of the grip should be moderate. It should be appropriate if others just can't pull it out from their hands. 2. Jumping the ball practice: This is an important step to master the "ball nature". In the beginning, you should jump the ball normally. After you become familiar with it, you can increase the difficulty, such as walking while bouncing, rotating the front and back, etc. The more the better without making mistakes. 3. ** Barehanded Racquet Practice **: You can slow down, but you must practice every day. It was better to practice the backhand and backhand attacks in front of the mirror. At this stage, the students could first establish the correct arm swing without moving their feet, including the shape of the racket, the angle of the upper arm and the body, the angle of the lower arm and the upper arm. After the upper body movement was stable, he added the rotation of the feet in place to make the legs have the correct shape. After the whole body could coordinate the movement, he added the shift of the center of gravity. You can also add some ball sense exercises, such as holding the ball in place, walking with the ball, bouncing the ball against the wall, hitting the ball into the basin, etc. 4. ** Multi-ball practice **: Go on stage to train with multiple balls instead of single ball training. At the beginning, he would not move his feet and only do the upper body swing. After the upper body movement was fixed, he would add the foot and leg movements, and then add simple footwork exercises. 5. ** Combination of various teaching methods **: Using video demonstration, coach demonstration, veteran player demonstration and other means to let students establish the correct movement image, so that they have a systematic and comprehensive understanding of table tennis. At the same time, in the teaching process, the students 'psychological quality was strengthened, helping them build confidence and maintain a positive attitude. They were also required to be prepared for tough training, focusing on cultivating the students' teamwork spirit, so that they learned to respect their opponents, learn from each other, and make progress together. 6. ** Step by step, add receiving skills training **: When you are familiar with the basic movements, you can learn receiving skills such as pushing to receive the ball, poking to receive the ball, backhand rubbing to receive the ball, straight board pulling to receive the ball, horizontal board swinging short to receive the ball, backhand picking to receive the ball, and so on. At the same time, you must pay attention to the training of arm strength. While watching the Olympics, you can also read the wonderful novels related to the Olympics!
The teaching of table tennis involved many skills: 1. * * Serve Skill ** - Side spin serve: This was a common and effective serve in a match. When the ball is served, it is sent out in a side spin manner, causing the ball to curve in the air, making it difficult for the opponent to accurately predict the landing point and increasing the difficulty of receiving the ball. 2. * * How to hold the racket ** - Penhold: - Fast attack type: When holding the racket, the thumb in front of the racket is close to the left side of the racket handle, and the index finger clasps the racket handle to form a small ring. After the racket, the three fingers naturally bend to support the middle of the racket. - Loop type: It is roughly the same as the fast attack type, but the back fingers are naturally straight, and the first knuckle of the middle finger is placed on the middle of the back of the racket. - Chop style: Before the racquet, the thumb is bent and pressed tightly on the left side of the racquet handle. After the racquet, the other four fingers naturally support the back of the racquet. When the forearm is chopped, the racquet is tilted backward. When the backhand chop, the four fingers behind the racquet are flexibly shaken to make the racquet handle downward. - Horizontal racket: The middle finger, ring finger, and little finger naturally hold the racket handle. The thumb is on the front of the racket and lightly sticks to the middle finger. The index finger is naturally straight and diagonally placed on the back of the racket. The thumb and forefinger of a shallow grip were slightly attached to the racket, and the thumb and forefinger of a deep grip were tightly attached to the racket. 3. * * Basic postures for playing basketball ** - When preparing for the action, bend your knees slightly, pull your right leg back (hold the racket with your right hand, and vice versa with your left hand), stand with your feet slightly wider than your shoulders, and lean your center of gravity toward the foot corresponding to the grip. Place the grip in front of your abdomen, relax your body, and grasp the racket tightly. 4. * * Basic Steps ** - Single Step: With one foot as the axis, the other foot moves forward, backward, left, and right in different directions. The body's center of gravity falls on the moving foot. - Step: One foot stomps on the ground, the other foot takes a big step in the direction of movement, the foot stomps on the ground and then takes half a step or a small step, and the body's center of gravity shifts to the step foot. - Step: One foot takes half a step or a small step to the other foot, and the other foot moves one step in the direction of the ball after the step hits the ground. 5. * * Batting Skills ** - Pushing the ball: When you receive the ball, you use the method of pushing the ball back to change the speed and angle of the ball, making it difficult for the opponent to receive the ball accurately. - Backhand Side Pull: When catching the ball, use the backhand method to pull the ball to the side, change the angle of the ball, and increase the difficulty of the opponent's catch. - Forehand Loop: When receiving the ball, use the forehand method to arc the ball upward, increasing the arc of the ball, making it difficult for the opponent to accurately receive the ball. 6. * * Footwork Training Techniques (For Amateur Players)** - You can use the method of "touching the corner of the table" to train. On the side of the table, touch one corner of the table with your hand, then move your feet to touch another corner of the table, and then move your feet back to touch the original corner of the table, repeating this action. The training ground didn't have to have a table. It was just relatively spacious. The time and frequency of training varied from person to person. It was gradual, from slow to fast. It didn't matter what kind of footwork was used in the movement. For example, the parallel step (the foot that was far away from the ball kicked the ground to meet the ball) and the jump step (both feet kicked the ground almost at the same time to meet the ball) were more practical in the game. This kind of training method helped to combine the subconscious and subconscious. When the ball was far away, the subconscious thought of catching the ball, and the subconscious could immediately achieve the goal by moving his feet. In this process, he could gradually make his steps more reasonable. While watching the Olympics, you can also read the wonderful novels related to the Olympics!
There were many ways to get the video teaching for beginners of table tennis. One was to search on the search engine. There were many teaching videos specifically for beginners of table tennis. They would start from the basic selection and grip of the racket, to the comprehensive technical attacks such as the forehand attack and the backhand attack, as well as the rules and strategies. They were taught through simple and easy to understand methods such as action demonstration and decomposition. They were suitable for beginners and veterans with a certain age. They could help students improve their skills quickly. Secondly, he could follow the creators of Ping-Pong, such as Yuyang. They might publish a collection of basic techniques that must be learned in Ping-Pong and other related teaching videos.

The rules of table tennis include the following aspects: ** 1. Competition venue and equipment ** 1. ** Table **: 2.74 meters long, 1.525 meters wide, 0.76 meters high. There is a 15.25 cm high net in the middle dividing the table into two equal fields. The color is usually green. 2. ** Racquet **: The surface of the racket is made of rubber and has two colors, red and black. 3. ** Table tennis ball **: 40mm in diameter, white, yellow, or orange, and dull. ** 2. Competition Rules ** 1. ** Serve ** - Before the game began, the first player to serve was determined by tossing a coin or guessing the ball. When serving, the ball should be placed on the palm of the hand that is not holding the clap. The palm should be opened and kept still. The ball must be thrown almost vertically upward by the hand. The ball must not spin. The ball must rise no less than 16 centimeters after leaving the palm. The ball must not touch anything before it is hit. When the ball descends from the highest point of the toss, the server can hit the ball so that the ball first touches his own table area, then passes over or around the net device, and then touches the receiving player's table area. If it was a double, the ball should touch the right half of the server and the receiver. From the beginning of the service to the hitting of the ball, the ball must always be above the table and beyond the end line of the server, and it must not be blocked by any part of the server or his partner's body or clothes. When the player serves, the moment the ball comes into contact with the racket, there must be no obstruction within the virtual triangle formed by the ball and the net column, and there must be no obstruction above a certain height. One of the referees must be able to see the player's hitting point. - After each player served twice, they exchanged the right to serve, and both sides took turns to serve. 2. ** Receive **: The player who receives the ball must hit the ball before the opponent's serve lands. Then the ball must cross the net and land in the opponent's court. 3. ** Scoring Rules ** - Each game had an 11-point system, and the first team to score 11 points was the winner. If the score of both sides reached 10, they needed to continue the game until one side led by two points. - Singles table tennis matches usually consisted of two best of three games (preliminary round), three best of five games (semi-final/semi-final), and four best of seven games (final round). 4. ** Other Rules ** - Before each game, the players from both sides would exchange places, and after each game, they would exchange the right to serve. A tiebreaker (the last game when the scores are equal). When one side gets five points, they have to switch places again. - Players should abide by the principles of sportsmanship and fair competition during the game. They should not touch the table, the net or use unfair means to interfere with their opponents. They can exchange rackets at any time during the game, but they cannot change the table tennis ball. ** 3. Fighting style ** 1. ** Serve and Position Selection **: The serve can be launched from any position and angle, and there is no restriction on the landing point and direction. In the official game, the two sides decided who would serve first and which position to serve from by guessing the ball (the referee swapped the positions of the ball with his left and right hands under the table, and the athlete guessed which hand the ball was in. If he guessed correctly, he could choose to serve first or choose a position) or tossing a coin (the referee tossed a coin, and the athlete guessed the front and back, and if he guessed correctly, he could choose to serve first or choose a position). 2. ** Return of Service **: When receiving a service, after the ball falls into the opponent's half of the court, the racket can be used to hit the ball back at any position and angle, regardless of the landing point and direction. 3. ** Hit the ball **: When hitting the ball, you need to hit it with the racket after the ball falls into your own half.
