The region will have an under-17 and under-15 team competing in their respective grades against other strong netballers from around the state.
Among the North East representatives is this season's Ovens and Murray League under-17 best and fairest winner Mia Lavis, as well as fellow O and M A-grade netballers Eliza Mooney and Kaleisha Pell.
"It's shaping up to be a pretty strong squad," 17-under assistant coach Noel Halton said.
"When you get to Melbourne, you just don't know what you're up against.
"I'm sure either way they'll represent their area well."
While they have become accustomed to meeting each other on the court in opposing teams, the young representatives will now have the opportunity to join forces.
