What we’re about
Tennis Nashville is the Middle Tennessee USTA Community Tennis Association (CTA) with the mission to promote and grow the game of tennis. Our meet up community is a relaxed group of passionate tennis players.
Tennis Nashville Meetup is about getting tennis enthusiasts in the Nashville/Middle TN area together for playing co-ed doubles and singles! There are recurring meetups several days each week, where players at all levels have an opportunity to play.

House Rules:
- Donations: Tennis Nashville Meetup is a free service (unless court fees are required). Hosts are not compensated for their time; Tennis Nashville makes zero profit on this program. Players who frequent events should consider a small monthly donation to help us thank your hosts and support our operations. Venmo: @tennisnashville22
- Player interactions: Meetup is a social fun event. Rude, disruptive, intolerant, lewd, inappropriate, or harassment type behavior will NOT be permitted. You may be permanently removed from the group and/or asked to leave a Meetup event for inappropriate behavior. Players please report these types of behaviors to the host or Meetup Admin via [email protected]
- RSVP: If you sign up, show up! An RSVP is a promise to attend the event. Please update RSVPs early to give notice to waiting players. After a no-show (failing to show up or cancelling with little notice before the event starts), the individual will not be permitted to sign up for the following week's event. In the event of an emergency, please reach out to your host for an exception. Multiple no-shows will result in suspension from all events.
Note: If you remain on the waitlist at the time the meetup begins, please do not attend without permission from the host. - Equipment: No equipment will be provided by the meetup hosts or Tennis Nashville. Players are expected to bring tennis balls and their own racquets. If you have not contributed balls to your tennis meetup, please consider a contribution next time you play.
- Late arrivals: Players will play in the order of arrival, if you are late you may have to wait to be rotated into the event (based on number of players). Players who are more than 15 minutes late to the event may forfeit their spot on the court if another player is present/ready to play at host's discretion. Please keep your host/group updated on late arrivals via the app: post on the Event page or send a Meetup Message.
- Skill level: If a meetup indicates a particular skill level, hosts are encouraged to ensure the players meet criteria. A host may let you know that other meetups might be more appropriate for your skill and ask you to not return until you meet the criteria. Please know this is only to keep all of our events competitive and fun. If you are unsure about the event, please message your host! The NTRP guidelines page can help you self-evaluate your rating.
