ping pong is played on a long table. the table has a net in the middle. each player holds a paddle. one person serves. this means to hit the ball toward the other person. the ball is hit back and forth between the two. the idea is to bounce the ball off the table. one bounce is okay. but two bounces is too many. if you bounce the ball past the other person, you get a point. most times, a ping pong match will go to 11 points. you always have to win by at least two. a game can get very heated!
