Eleven-year-old players Aislinn McCarthy and Taj Bowman will represent the Ballarat Miners and Rush at the week-long invitational next week.
Playing in her biggest tournament yet, McCarthy said she cant wait.
"It feels good to represent Ballarat," she said.
"This is my third year playing with the Rush. It's been fun to meet new people and learn more about basketball."
The tournament will be nothing new for Bowman who first made the Ballarat representative program as a bottom-aged under-12.
He said he was looking forward to testing his might against players from other states.
"It will be good to see how they play and what they do," he said.
