Welcome

Welcome to the World Medical Tennis Society’s website. If you are a tennis-playing medical doctor, from anywhere in the world, please read on. If you know of tennis-playing medical doctors, then please call this website to their attention.

This site has been developed to promote the WMTS. We want to gain new members. We want to impress physicians of the long, successful history of the organization, so they will attend our meetings and compete with us.

There are 4 main aspects of a WMTS meeting: 1) physical fitness through tennis, 2) great camaraderie among players, 3) scientific sessions that meet most governments’ requirements, and 4) travel to many places in the world. “It doesn’t get any better than that!”

Sign up! We’d like to meet you.

Sincerely,
James L. Manion, M.D.
Executive Secretary

My dear friends doctors and collegaues:

As the new President of the World Medical Tennis Society it is my honour to invite you to participate in our two tennis championships held in 2010 in Banská Bystrica, Slovak Republic, and in 2011 in Karlove Vary, Czech Republic.

In both countries tennis enjoys great popularity among doctors. I am convinced that the quality of the tennis will be on a high level.

In addition, this will be a great opportunity for foreign participants from all over the world to become familiar with the beauty, culture and history of both host countries.

Yours,
Miroslav Ondrej, MD MPH
President, WMTS (2009, 2010)

Excerpts from Dr. Stanley McCampbell’s, “My Memoirs of…The World Medical Tennis Society,” written in 1991.

“To me it has been a great honor to know and enjoy the friendship of doctors from around the world. It has been the most exciting experience of my life. Doctors…can be assured that if they travel thousands of miles to meetings, they will be certain of a warm welcome, well-organized tournaments and scientific sessions, and a grand, good time. It is an opportunity, unequalled, as far as I know, of enjoying the friendship of interesting, fun loving, sportsman-like doctors who will be friends for life. I would certainly like to do it all over again.”
