Meadows City Tennis Club – Edinburgh
Club History
Meadows City Tennis Club was established in 2003 as part of the LTA’s City Tennis Club scheme, which sought to promote club tennis being played on public courts. The club has been going strong ever since! Membership numbers have increased steadily over the years, as has the range of tennis and social activities that we offer.
In 2014, flood-lighting was installed on six courts and the Meadows tennis pavilion/cafe was refurbished. This has proved of huge benefit to the club in terms of what we can offer and others who use the courts. Thanks are due to the LTA, SportScotland and Edinburgh Leisure for their investment in the facility.
We have a very international membership profile and reckon if we plotted the nationalities of our members over the years we would cover a lot of the globe!
As well as our extensive social tennis programme running in summer and winter, we also enter a range of men’s, women’s and junior teams in the East of Scotland Doubles leagues.
Since the club was established, we have been running our legendary “American” doubles social tournaments – with a fun and social rotating format – and often filling 8 courts. Currently we aim to run this 4 times over the summer season with a social event after.
We also established some club competitive ladders a good number of years ago and in 2018 we launched a mixed doubles ladder which has proved popular.
The junior club has also been running since 2003 and currently offers a dedicated coaching programme for different age groups, as well as the opportunity to play in East of Scotland Leagues and competitions.

Meet the Committee
The club committee is made up of members who volunteer to undertake a range of positions. All committee positions are appointed annually at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) – usually held in February.
The AGM will be advertised to all members with an invitation for any member to register interest in standing for any committee position.
If you would like to know more about committee roles and/or what the committee does, or you have skills you could bring to the committee, please just get in touch. The club committee is also keen to hear any feedback/ideas/comments from members.
