Tennis
Tennis is a racquet sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent’s court. The object of the game is to play the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. The player who is unable to return the ball will not gain a point, while the opposite player will.
Table Tennis
Table tennis is a fun, fast-paced sport that anyone can enjoy. Originally known as ping-pong, the game was invented in England in the 1800s and has been a popular pastime ever since.
Table tennis is played on a table that is just over 2.5 feet (76 cm) wide and just under 5 feet (152 cm) long. The net is placed across the center of the table, and players use bats (or paddles) to hit a small, lightweight ball back and forth across the net.
The game can be played with one player on each side of the table (singles), or with two players on each side (doubles). In singles play, each player hits the ball alternately; in doubles play, partners take turns hitting the ball.
