Warm-up activities include full body stretching, jogging on the spot, ladder drills, and high knees.

The objective is to be the first player to score five points.

The game starts with one player serving the ball.

The player who won the rally serves next, and scores are updated accordingly.

If the score is tied, the other player gets a chance to serve.

Players continue to serve and rally until one player reaches five points.

Another player may count the score during the match.

Players should reflect on their experience to gather focus and maintain concentration.

Players should identify enjoyable rallies and shots, regardless of who scored points.

Essential equipment includes a table tennis table, paddles, and a ball.

Common shots include forehand, backhand, and serves.

A forehand shot is executed with the palm facing the table, while a backhand shot uses the back of the hand.

Types of serves include topspin, backspin, and sidespin serves.

Good footwork allows players to position themselves effectively for shots.

A rally is the sequence of hits between players until one fails to return the ball.

Players play to five points, and a match consists of multiple rallies.

A common mistake is failing to throw the ball vertically during the serve.

Players should always shake hands before and after the match.
