TABLE TENNIS
Transcript
Thank you for your attention!
And one more thing...
INSIDE STORY
The game was inspired by 19th century lawn tennis players, who in bad weather practised indoors using cigar-box lids as bats, the rounded tops of champagne corks as balls, and a row of books for a net. International Table Tennis Federation was founded in 1926 by Austria, England, Germany and Hungary. It now has 202 member organizations.
Conclusion
Table tennis is a funny and fast sport you should try.
WHAT IS TABLE TENNIS
Also known as ping-pong, men and women play as individuals or in pairs. Players win points by hitting a lightweight ball over a net so that their opponents either cannot return it or are forced into an error.
TABLE TENNIS
TABLE TERRAIN
Tables are made of manufactured hardwood. They are usually dark green, but may be dark blue or black. The net extends 15.25 cm. beyond the edge of the table on both sides. The centre line indicates where the service must land in doubles: it should bounce in the right-hand courts of both server and receiver (in singles, it can land anywhere on the table).
WHAT HAPPENS AT YOUR SERVICE?
Play begins when one player serves the ball by throwing it up at least as high as the net and then striking it with the bat. The ball must be thrown from an open palm to rule out finger spin. The ball must bounce twice-once on each side of the net-before being returned by the other player. If the ball touches the net during a service but then lands on the receiver’s side, a let is played, and the server serves again. A player serves for two points, after which it is the opponent’s turn.
HOW ARE MATCHES?
Matches are the best of five or seven games. Each game is won by the first side to reach 11 points or from 10-10, two clear points. In open play, the ball may bounce only once per shot, on the receiver’s side of the net. Volleying is not allowed: the ball has to touch the table. A player who touches the playing surface with his or her hand during a rally loses the point. In doubles matches, players strike the ball in turn.
