For over 50 years, the AMTA has offered tennis-playing physicians the winning formula of five-day meetings that feature both scientific sessions for CME credit and a tennis tournament for all levels of proficiency. We have an annual spring meeting in Palm Springs, California, that coincides with the BNP Paribas Open at neighboring Indian Wells, with time to go watch the “pros” for those that so desire! We also venture to a fall Southeast site when interest supports a second meeting each year.
The success of the AMTA was the impetus for establishing the World Medical Tennis Society (WMTS) in 1971, which is now active in over 50 countries. In October 2022, the AMTA hosted the World Meeting at the USTA National Tennis Center in Orlando, Florida. 2023, the meeting was held near Riga, Latvia, on the Baltic coast. In July 2024, the WMTS was held in Budapest, Hungary, with 300 participants from 25 countries. The American contingent enjoyed playing on red clay. Budapest was a wonderful historic city for culture and hospitality.
The next World Meeting will be held in Poland on the Baltic, tentatively from 7/19 to 25/2025. In 2026, the WMTS meeting will be at a resort in Antalya in October. Our 2025 AMTA meeting will be at Smoke Tree Ranch in Palm Springs, CA, during the second week of the BNP Paribas tennis tournament in Indian Wells. The dates for AMTA 2025 are Sunday, March 9, through Friday morning, March 14, 2025.
Give us a try! The scientific sessions are stimulating and current, the tennis is competitive at all levels, and, even better, the camaraderie is exceptional, with lifelong friendships the frequent result.
