Welcome to the American Medical Tennis Association!
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 who so desire!
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. In 2023, the WMTS meeting was held near Riga, Latvia, on the Baltic coast. In 2024, Budapest, Hungary, hosted the meeting and in 2025, the meeting was held in Gdynia, Poland, on the Baltic Coast in July. These sites had wonderful history, hospitality, and red clay to play tennis on. The next WMTS meeting will be in Antalya, Turkey, at an all-inclusive tennis resort, October 10-17, 2026.
Our 2026 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 2026 are Sunday, March 8, through Friday morning, March 13, 2026.
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.
