table tennis

Indoor net game

Table tennis is a game in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball back and forth across a net on a rectangular table, using small paddles.

The ball must bounce once on each side.

Also called ping-pong, from the sound the ball makes.

We set up the table tennis table in the basement.
