What is the minimum distance required between two table tennis tables?

Answer 1

The minimum distance depends on the standard of competition being played.

For International events each table must be enclosed within a court size measuring no less than 14 metres long (46 feet) and 7 metres (23 feet) wide.

However, for lower level events, it is for the organiser of the event to decide what is suitable, but the usual minimum court size measurements are...

National tournaments

12m x 6m (40 feet x 20 feet)

National league / Representative matches

10m x 5m (33 feet x 16 feet 6 inches)

Local league / Local tournaments

9m x 5m (30 feet x 16 feet 6 inches)

Recreational play and coaching

8.5m x 4.12m (28 feet x 13 feet 6 inches)

Home Use

You can use any sized space that will accommodate a Table Tennis table (9 feet long and 5 feet wide - 2.7m x 1.5m)
