It comes as the Ovens and Murray prepare for a clash against the Mornington Peninsula league in Rosebud on Saturday, May 18.
Wangaratta head coach Lou Byrne, Lavington coach Tamara Mathews and North Albury netball legend Paula Cary have been named as coaches of the squad, with a strong list of 14 players selected.
Lavington boasts five netballers in the squad, including the experienced shooting combination of Skye Hillier and Sarah Senini.
Last year's Toni Wilson medallist Sophie Hanrahan is among four Corowa-Rutherglen players named, alongside former North Albury goal shooter Grace Senior.
Reigning premiers Wangaratta have also contributed to the squad, with Isabelle Byrne, Hannah Grady and Amanda Umanski all in the mix.
North Albury and Yarrawonga round out the clubs represented with a player each.
Byrne, who is in her second consecutive year coaching the squad, said the list carries a good mix of youth and experience.
While some players are no strangers to representing the league, there are also some new faces in the mix this year.
"You want the best of the best, so we're pretty happy with the squad we've chosen so far," Byrne said.
"We're looking forward to it, and I'm sure the girls will be looking forward to the challenge.
"Everyone should think it's a huge accolade and an honour to represent the league.
"You get to know the girls from other clubs and it's great to see new girls coming into the league."
