LOADS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL AGES & ABILITIES TO ENJOY

We pride ourselves on being a friendly, welcoming club and get regular compliments to this effect from new members and visitors alike.

A vibrant social tennis scene forms the lifeblood of our club and drives this culture. We’re extremely proud of this.

Our diverse social tennis scene has grown organically by our members. That’s what makes it’s so successful.

It evolves and changes to meet the needs of our members because it’s driven by them.

We have been known to be very hospitible, welcoming and make some tasty cakes.

We field lots of teams in regional and national league and cup competitions at junior, senior and vets level.

This is a big part of life at Rutherglen LTC, but team tennis is not limited to strong or experienced players. We field sufficient teams to provide an opportunity for everyone to enjoy competitive tennis whatever their standard.

We enter league and cup competitions throughout the year, including the West of Scotland Spring and Summer Leagues, Winter Sunday League, Winter Monday Night Floodlight League, Aegon Regional and National League and various local and national cup competitions.

Our Gents 1st team play in Division 1/2 (third top league in the West of Scotland) and our Gents 5th team play in Division 8 (the lowest league in the West of Scotland). This shows our commitment to give all our members keen to play competitive tennis the opportunity regardless of their ability. This reinforces our strong ethos of fun, inclusive tennis.

Our rapid growth and expansion as a club is clearly illustrated in the number of teams we field and the level they compete at. A great example of this is our Summer League teams. In 2011 we fielded two ladies and two gents teams. In 2019 we fielded 4 ladies and 7 gents teams. As illustrated below, not only has the number increased, but so too has the standard.

TEAM TENNIS

WE PROVIDE LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR PLAYERS AGED 8 TO 80!

Our award-winning coaching team run an expansive, fun coaching programme which offers something for everyone, whatever your age, level or ambitions.

They believe in making tennis fun and accessible to everyone and bring passion, motivation and their love for the game to every session on and off the court.

If they are not on court they are generally climbing mountains with tennis nets and rackets on their backs, taking road trips to support Great Britain in the Davis Cup or visiting clubs and academies around the world to further hone their skills.

They offer group coaching, individual lessons, match play, team tennis and much, much more.
