I hope you are all enjoying your first experience with the great game of tennis. I was just thinking that when I first began playing tennis there was no real ideas on adapting, and changing the tennis experience. As you progress along the improvement path towards the best you can be, there will be times that you have off days and the world does not give out signals of fun and happiness. This can be a problem to us all when it happens to many times, especially if we are really trying our best. I think there are times when adapting to things in a different way will definitely help us. I have listed a few things that you may find of help to you.
Changing the size of the court:
You can restrict yourselves to playing within the service boxes, or you may want to play down just one side of the court from baseline to baseline, the choice is infinite and you can have a great time working out what is your best areas to play in. As you become more successful you can change the areas to suit your progress. Remember that if you find it too difficult to play in certain areas of the tennis court, then change those areas so that you have more success and have fun.
Changing your equipment
You can play with foam balls, transitional balls or conventional tennis balls. I have a few football size foam balls, It is great to see how every one really enjoys hitting a football size foam ball around a tennis court. Try it and see what you think.
Changing your Targets
There are many ways you can involve targets, you can use your own decisions on where you think you want to have a target. Again make sure that you are reasonable successful, if you find the target too difficult make it easier for yourselves.
Changing the Rules
There are so many ways that you can change the rules for example let us say that you are progressing very well and feel that you would like to put that little bit more pressure on your weary bones. Then you may want to hit the ball back to your opponents racket and say to yourself let me see what you can do with it!! Or maybe you may want to challenge yourself further by hitting the ball with your none hitting hand. You can also change the scoring so that you have an advantage, lets say you are playing someone who is much better than you. Play a game where you only have to win one rally to win the game! You can really create really fun things to do.
I recommend adapting the Tennis experience right from the time you start playing, so have fun out there and enjoy.
Essential Table Tennis Rules
Table tennis is a simple game; you don’t need to master a complex set of regulations to play the game. However, there are a few basic rules you should know before playing the game for the first time, as they will help you enjoy table tennis more.
A game of table tennis starts by deciding which player will serve first. This can be done by a coin toss, but normally by one of two methods – either playing a rally with the winner getting to decide who’ll serve first, or, more simply, by one player hiding the table tennis ball in one of his hands and getting the other to guess correctly. When serving, the ball is tossed up into the air and struck with the bat, and needs to bounce twice, once on your side of the table and once on your opponent’s. You cannot hide the ball while getting ready to serve, trying to gain an advantage through surprise; this is against the rules, but also considered bad sportsmanship!
After the ball has been served, play continues with the ball being hit over the net to bounce on the opponent’s side of the net only, as in normal tennis. Players make life difficult for opponents by using spin and slice to change the flight of the ball, and pushing the other player wide of the table by their choice of shot. If the other player allows the ball to bounce more than once on their side, or to hit the floor, then you’ve won the point. Allowing the ball to hit any part of your body apart from your hand, hitting the net with your bat or body, or moving the table, will also cause the point to go to your opponent.
In the old scoring system for table tennis, serve would alternate between players every five points until one of the players reached 21, with play going on beyond that until one of them reached a two point advantage, if necessary. A recent rule change means that serve now alternates every two points and games go up to 11, but you may find that many people still play to 21. A table tennis match will normally be best of 3 or 5, depending on how much time you have.
Table tennis can also be played as a doubles game, with players on each team taking turns to hit the ball. Try not to collide!

Estimate the number of table-tennis balls would fit (without being crushed)?
Assume that the diameter of a ball is 3.3 cm
into a room that is 4 m long, 4 m wide, and 3 m high. .
This is a much more complicated problem than the other answers suggest.
If you go to the grocery store and look at a display of fruit, such
as oranges, you notice that they are not balanced one on top
of the other, but each layer sits a little below the top of the
one below it, with each orange sitting on 3 others below it.
This Wikipedia article gives a pretty good discussion of the topic:

Other pages can be found by searching on
sphere packing
as the search terms.
It says that the density is around 75% of the volume (if I read it correctly).
The volume of balls is 4/3 pi r³ = 4/3 3.1416 (3.3/2)³ = 18.8165692 cc
The room is 400 x 400 x 300 cc = 48000000 cc
75% = 36 million cc
36 million / 18.817 = 1913163.63
In round numbers, around 1.9 million balls will fill the room.
