Tennis

Key Information

Scottish Student Tennis has an opportunity for every ability, with a plentiful supply of BUCS leagues for both men’s and women’s teams. The leagues house some of the best players in the UK, with Stirling Men’s 1s having recently won the National Championship and their players performing well at the BUCS Individuals Championships.

We are excited to be able to offer a SS Tennis Mixed Doubles Festival and the SS Tennis Championships every year, with these dates for the 2024/25 season soon to be announced.

Upcoming Tennis Events

You might want to know…

  • For those who don’t quite make the teams or are new to the game there are many opportunities to participate within your institutions. These can vary from timed singles and doubles events, mixed doubles, touch tennis (a new variation on tennis which allows skilful play to flourish on a smaller court) and racketlon (a tournament played over four racket sports).
  • We have two key events in the calendar season alongside the BUCS leagues fixtures with our SS Tennis Championships and SS Tennis Mixed Doubles Competition, both happening in Semester 2.

Meet your Sports Chair

Rory La Trobe
Hello! My name is Rory La Trobe and I’m the SS Tennis Chair for the 25-26 season. I’m currently the Sports Union President at the University of Dundee after graduating from Graphic Design at Dundee.
I’ve always played and been involved with tennis from a young age and I’m very passionate about this sport! From taking it seriously as a kid, to playing BUCS through university, to shanking every second ball nowadays with some dusty technique, I still love tennis just the same and I’m looking forward to supporting the delivery through SSS in 2025/26!
