Lesson
Individual/Dual Sports:
1 Table Tennis
The sport originated in Victorian England, where it was played among the upper-
class as an after-dinner parlor game. It has been suggested that makeshift versions of
the game were developed by British military officers in India around the 1860s or 1870s,
who brought it back with them. A row of books stood up along the center of the table as
a net, two more books served as rackets and were used to continuously hit a golf-ball.
The name "ping-pong" was in wide use before British manufacturer J. Jaques &
Son Ltd trademarked it in 1901. The name "ping-pong" then came to describe the game
played using the rather expensive Jaques's equipment, with other manufacturers calling
it table tennis. A similar situation arose in the United States, where Jaques sold the
rights to the "ping-pong" name to Parker Brothers. Parker Brothers then enforced its
trademark for the term in the 1920s making the various associations change their
names to "table tennis" instead of the more common, but trademarked, term.
In the 1950s, paddles that used a rubber sheet combined with an underlying sponge
layer changed the game dramatically, introducing greater spin and speed. These were
introduced to Britain by sports goods manufacturer S.W. Hancock Ltd. The use of speed
glue beginning in the mid-1980s increased the spin and speed even further, resulting in
changes to the equipment to "slow the game down". Table tennis was introduced as an
Olympic sport at the Olympics in 1988.
It is governed by the worldwide organization International Table Tennis
Federation (ITTF), founded in 1926. ITTF currently includes 226 member
associations. The table tennis official rules are specified in the ITTF
handbook. Table tennis has been an Olympic sport since 1988, with
several event categories. From 1988 until 2004, these were men's singles,
women's singles, men's doubles and women's doubles. Since 2008, a
team event has been played instead of the doubles.

 What is It

What is Table Tennis?

It’s a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball, also known as the
ping-pong ball, back and forth across a table using small rackets. The game takes place
on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, the rules are generally as
follows: players must allow a ball played toward them to bounce one time on their side
of the table, and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side at least once.

The game can be won by the player or pair who first scored 11 points unless both
players score 10 points, when the game shall be won by the player or pair gaining a
2point lead. A point is scored when a player fails to return the ball within
the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. Spinning the ball
alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter a
great advantage.
