One player serves. It's started.

AnswerA player serves. How you decide which one serves is usually a volly. Whoever misses the ball first gives the ball to the other player and that person serves.

The key components of Table Tennis are your strokes. So, the best way to help a beginning player improve is to teach them proper strokes. This will give them a good foundation to build from whether they stick with the game or decide to come back to it later in life.

Now, when playing a game in table tennis, the first thing you do is serve the ball or receive a serve. So, that would be the next thing to improve. In table tennis, a legal serve is tossed at least 6" and as near vertical as possible from the flat palm of the hand making sure not to impart any spin on the ball. The serve has to be from above the table and from behind the white end line of the table. Your opponent's serve may have any degree and variation of spin. So, teaching the player how to return topspin, underspin, sidespin, and no-spin services is very important to propel their table tennis game. Misreading the spin on a serve can cost them an important game in a match. Therefore, they need to see lots of varying serves to learn to return them.

Finally, good balance and footwork will help a player drastically improve. Teach the beginning player to have a good ready stance and to lower their center of gravity. Having good balance and being able to move to the ball quickly to execute a proper stroke is very important. So, practice footwork drills that move the player side to side and back and forth from the table.

Teaching a beginner these key points will give them an excellent base to build their game from.
