Racquet Sports
Temporary Venue Closures
Due to COVID-19, our venues have been closed and coaching programmes cancelled until further notice. Please check our website for reopening details and stay active at home with custom-made activities, games, exercise routines and much more, so you’re ready to hit the court again when we reopen.

Tennis, squash, badminton, table tennis… there’s a racquet sport for all ages, strengths, and levels of expertise. Boost your cardiovascular fitness and hand-eye coordination – whatever your age.
Tennis
Anyone for tennis? We have more indoor and outdoor tennis courts than any other club and offer a variety of surfaces.
Regardless of your match ability, come and improve your skills. Our adult and junior tennis coaching programme is one of the most popular in Edinburgh.
Whether you take the sport seriously, fancy a knockabout or want a high-energy workout in our Cardio Tennis Fitness Classes, we have a court for you.
Play at Craiglockhart, the Meadows, St. Margaret's Park or Leith Links.
Badminton
Pairs or doubles, it's a sociable sport whether you play competitively or with friends. Smash that shuttlecock at over 35 courts available for hire across the city.
Squash
An energetic workout and calorie burner - in one hour, you could burn between 700 and 1000 calories, which is significantly more than most other sports.
Racquetball
Played on a squash court but slower play with a bigger ball and shorter racket. Available at Craiglockhart Tennis Centre.
Table Tennis
Suitable for players of all ages. A great way to exercise both the body and the mind.
Available at Craiglockhart, Drumbrae, Gracemount, Leith Victoria, Jack Kane, Kirkliston and Queensferry. Contact the venue to book.

Changing or cancelling your bookings and no shows
Isn’t it frustrating when you can’t get a court? Even more so when you find out that a time was available because someone booked and didn’t turn up or cancelled at the last minute.
Please change or cancel your booking with 24hrs hours notice prior to your booking time if you are unable to make it and we will move your booking to another time or you won't be charged for cancelling your booking. Bookings with less than 24hrs notice won't be moved to another time or be eligible for a refund.

If we cancel your booking, please phone 0131 458 2100 or contact your venue and we will either move your booking to another day and time or we will refund your payment. If you have paid for your booking using Loyalty Points, we will add the relevant number of points back on to your account.
