🏓 How Does Table Tennis Work?
Table tennis is also called ping pong because of the sound the ball makes on the table. You can play one on one or in doubles at a table split in the middle by a low net. The tiny, super light ball has to bounce once on the other player's side. Paddles are covered in rubber, usually black on one side and red on the other. A game goes to 11 points, and you need to win by at least two.
