How to Play Air Hockey: The Rules
Air hockey is pretty straightforward: first player to score 10 points wins the round. Best out of 10 rounds wins the game. Here are the basics of how to play air hockey:
- Flip a coin to determine who starts with possession of the puck.
- To score a point, the puck must fully enter the goal. Rebounds or pucks that get stuck halfway in do not count as a point.
- When a player makes a goal, the other player serves the puck next.
- A player may only strike the puck when it is on their side of the centerline.
- Mallets may not cross the center line when striking the puck.
- A player may stand behind or alongside the game table, as long as they remain on their side of the centerline.
- A puck that is touching any part of the centerline is fair play for either player.
- No “topping” the puck—this means players cannot lift their mallet and place it over the puck to hold it in place.
- No touching the puck with hands, arms, or other body parts.
- Each player is allowed one 10-second time out per round.
- A player may only call for a time out when the puck is in their possession or not in play.
- Once a round ends, switch which player serves first.
