Why the new site? The Meadows Tennis League is part of a growing family of tennis leagues. Keeping them together in one place will help our administration. It will also free us from pop-up ads etc. Please bookmark the new site. Scores for the current round will now be updated on the new site (sorry for any inconvenience). This site will remain for the time being as an archive.

Offering competitive, but good natured matches on the public, city-centre courts in Edinburgh the Meadows Tennis League celebrated its first anniversary in March 2009. Five rounds have already been played and dozens of players have taken part, improved their tennis, had fun and met new people to play.

All players are welcome - existing members and new players - whatever their standard. It only costs £10 (£8 for students and members of the Meadows Tennis Club) and every player has an approximate one in six chance of winning £20 - all you have to do is win their group! Players also receive a FREE tube of tennis balls if they complete three matches by the half way point.

To join, just email at the address below, and use the PayPal link on the Join Now page of this site.

Here's our mission
Not playing enough competitive tennis? Want to keep fit through match play? The Meadows Tennis League is designed for all adult tennis players, whatever your age or standard of play.

We hope to organise three or four sessions per year, each lasting for approximately two months. Players are divided into mixed groups of about 6 or 7 based approximately on ability, so you should get five or six singles matches in each round.

Winners and losers of their groups will move up or down in subsequent sessions (depending on league size and accommodation of new players).

But the main goal is to give people the opportunity to play competitive but friendly singles matches against players of a similar standard. The Meadows is a great tennis facility and the idea is to structure the league round these accessible public courts.

Winners of each group receive a certificate and a £20 cash prize, or a free coaching lesson.

The entry fee for each round is £10. That covers administration, prizes and a free tube of tennis balls for each player who completes three matches before the halfway point of each session.

The League and LTA Ratings

In theory we would like this to be an LTA rated league - and for those who have ratings already we will submit qualifying results. However, the membership review at the LTA makes getting a new rating now a complicated business. If you are interested, keep an eye on the LTA's website. Follow the link below.
