Olivia Thompson, 17, will be joining Cobram teammate Amalie Pate in the 17-and-under Murray side, while fellow Tigers Ella Carter will play in the under-13s and Ada Kennedy will join the under-15 side.
Thompson, usually a centre, wing attack or wing defence, is looking forward to playing with some friends in the rep side again.
After playing for the rep side last year as a bottom-ager, she said she was excited to return to the under-17s team as a top-age player.
“I’d like to learn new things and improve all my skills, really,” she said.
The four netballers completed four trials in December and February, and impressed selectors enough to earn themselves a spot on their respective teams.
Over the next three months, the girls will train and play in four tournaments across the region, with the first booked for Albury on March 30.
Their hard work and efforts will come to a head in Shepparton on May 25, when their teams go up against sides from the likes of the Goulburn Valley League in the Association Championships.
If things go their way, the girls’ teams will go on to play sides from across Victoria in Melbourne.
