Teams
At MTC, we have Teams for men, ladies, mixed,and juniors playing competitively throughout the year. We continually encourage new team players, so if you are new to the club and keen to find out more about team tennis, please contact the relevant team captain (see below).
Winter mixed teams entered into the East of Scotland leagues from October 2025 for around 5 weeks and we also participate in the Winter Pringle Cup.

Both Ladies teams are back down to divisions 4 and 6 this year but are keen to regain promotion. With Men’s teams in divisions 2 ,6, 8 and 10, we are looking forward to the challenges ahead.
We also play mixed tennis in the East Lothian Summer League during July and August. We also enter teams in the East of Scotland Vets matches for both ladies and mens' teams. In September we have the SuperVets mixed team in the East of Scotland Leagues for those aged over 55 for men and ladies (played Wednesday mornings).

MTC policy is to select the strongest available team for each competitive match. Team selection is managed by the respective Team Captains in accordance with the following criteria.
- Players must be member of MTC.
- Players must state their willingness & availability.
- A player's previous & current playing level, experience & results.
- The level a player has competed at in the East of Scotland leagues.
- Attendance & development at match practice & squad sessions is essential. Attendance at club coaching sessions is recommended but not a pre-requisite.
- The Head Coach's opinion of a player's abilities.
- The Team Captain's opinion of a player's abilities.
- The commitment of a player to be part of the MTC teams.
- Adherence to Team Code of Conduct.
There is also an expectation that players who represent MTC demonstrate a level of participation in club social tennis and events.
