Mount Maunganui rising tennis star 12-year-old Kalais Going, alongside Mount Maunganui Tennis Club's 120 under-18 members, will today get a once in a lifetime chance to take onboard professional coaching tips from Marina, who's in town for the day.

As part of a Wilson Balls and Wright Sports-sponsored promotion, Bay of Plenty clubs were given the chance to have the professional tennis player grace their courts for three hours in a promotion and coaching capacity – the Mount club the lucky winner.

In an added bonus, Kalais will step out on to the court and take on Marina in an exhibition match alongside club coaches Andy Donald and Peter Blow.

During her action packed visit, Marina will work alongside club coaches giving personal tips to the players before picking up a racquet and playing a number of exhibition matches.

The visit is from 11am-2pm on Sunday with tickets $5 for juniors and $10 for adults.

As well as the usual interesting stalls and hot food available, Red Cross will have a stand raising money for the Solomon Islands Appeal. Plus Papamoa Lions will donate proceeds from sausage sales to the appeal. The Fire Brigade will be doing a display, and a well known publicity company will be filming the market from the air as well as ground level. You could wind up being famous! Also, some talented young violinists will be busking, to raise money for child cancer. So if you haven't been to the Papamoa Lions Market for a while, this Sunday would be a good time to go.
