AA little about GUT...

 

Glasgow University Tennis Club (GUT) is one of the largest, most active, most sociable and most diverse clubs in Glasgow University. The past few years have been a tremendous success for GUT, with membership up to around the 200 mark and tennis sessions virtually every day of the week! Our success culminated in GUT winning the Glasgow University Sports “Club of the Year” in 2013 – officially the best club on campus!

 

Glasgow University Tennis Club has something for everybody, whether you are a seasoned professional player, or have never picked up a racket in our life. We have tennis sessions every day of the week, ranging from casual practice sessions and indoor training for all abilities, right up to elite performance coaching for our team players. There’s definitely something for everybody in GUT!

 

If you’re a performance player, we are pleased to offer you the opportunity to try out for one of our three Men’s, or two Women’s teams. Team training is available on Monday and Tuesday nights. We are in the process of announcing a new coach who will be leading coaching blocks on at our team training sessions. BUCS matches are played on Wednesday afternoons across Scotland: these are a great opportunity to represent GUT, compete at an elite level, and meet new people. 

 

If you’re a recreational player, you’ll be pleased to know that most of the other members in GUT are too! We offer casual practice sessions on Mondays and Fridays, coaching on Wednesday and Sundays from professional, qualified coaches, and a brand new match play session on Thursday afternoons, in conjunction with Strathclyde and Caledonia universities. You’ll find that this is more than enough tennis to keep you going through the week, and these sessions are always open to our Performance Players as well.

 

Perhaps actually playing tennis is not your thing, or maybe you’re looking to embrace all aspects of GUT. Then we guarantee you’ll enjoy the social side of our club, renowned in Scotland for being on of the biggest in the country. We offer social events of all varieties, from classics like the infamous Glasgow SubCrawl, Pub Golf and Cheese and Wine, to classier events like the Alumni Ceilidh and Club Dinners. By far the largest social event is our annual Tennis Tour, where we take a bunch of people abroad for a week – last year it was Portugal; this year we are heading to Marbella.

 

Sound like your kind of club? Then we implore you to get involved. Come along to our Taster Session in Freshers Week, or if you’ve missed that, come along to any one of our sessions, and ask one of the committee how to get involved!
