Yolanda King is set to represent England at an international table tennis competition.
The Hastings starlet will line-up in the Luxembourg Youth Tournament which begins today and ends on Friday.
Thirteen-year-old King has also been picked to represent her country in the Home Countries Schools International at Cardiff from June 27-29.
Her call-ups reflect the top form she has been exhibiting in a range of national tournaments over the last few weeks.
The Bexhillians and Weald TTC player won the under-13s girls' singles title at the Butterfly English Schools National Individual Championships in Doncaster on April 26.
Claremont School pupil King then reached the semi-finals of the cadet (under-15s) girls' singles at the English National Junior/Cadet Championships seven days later.
The British Olympics Observation Squad member also won titles at the Cotswold and Essex Four Star Junior Open Championships last month.
King, who attended national cadet squad training at Lilleshall National Sports Centre last weekend, is part of the FANS scheme (Free Access for National Sports People).
