The Ballarat Tennis Club
A Sporting Tradition
Few country cities in Australia have such a strong tradition for sport as
Ballarat. Apart from other achievements, it was the venue for many rowing,
canoeing and other aquatic events during the 1956 Olympics with the utilisation
of Lake Wendouree.So it should not be surprising to find that Ballarat became
the third venue in Australia for real tennis. Real tennis, thought to
have originated in 12th century France, is an ancient sport and the predecessor
of modern tennis.
Combining these qualities of both the city of Ballarat and the sport of real
tennis, The Ballarat Tennis Club quite literally is, a sporting tradition.
