About Us

Lisburn Tennis Club was started to provide outdoor courts for the players at ‘Wallace Park Indoor Tennis Centre’ and is run by Wallace Park’s team of professional tennis coaches. Our aim is to provide a club where all players develop good technique and improve through practice & competitive play at their level.

Surface

Wallace HS & Wallace Park both have hard courts.

Hard courts are the ‘slowest’ surface available in Northern Ireland and are much better for developing good technique than ‘fast’ artificial grass courts.

The majority of the world’s best players learned on clay. This is because it is a ‘slow’ surface on which players have longer rallies and hence develop better technique. Clay courts, however, are very difficult to maintain in our climate. Hard courts are the ‘slowest courts’ we have and therefore the best for developing players.
