Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School (Esperance) pupils were star struck on Friday afternoon after tennis great, Alicia Molik attended their school assembly in order to promote the kids starter tennis program, MLC Tennis Hot Shots. The school was selected to pilot the modified tennis program in term 4 which was delivered by student favourite, Mr Iain Clark.
The former No. 8 in the world offered her adorning fans an insight into her life on the road as a player, the transition into retirement and her newest and most precious challenge, motherhood.
Selected children from years 3 and 4 were then treated to an on-court MLC Tennis Hot Shots clinic delivered by Molik and assisted by Tennis West Community Tennis Officer, Paul Oldfield.
“It was a great experience for all the students. The Hot Shots program offers them the opportunity to really master the basic skills of tennis and to become more confident on court. Not to mention the thrill of rubbing shoulders with one of Australia’s most celebrated athletes” Paul Oldfield explained.
Teacher Iain Clark plans to continue to deliver the program and hopes to see more Esperance children pick up a racquet as a result of their special visitor. For more details on MLC Tennis Hot Shots please follow the link www.hotshots.tennis.com.au
