The association will be represented in the under-15 and under-17 divisions at Liverpool.

Under-15 co-captains Tallara Duck and Emiah Stokes will lead the way for Hastings Valley at opposite ends of the court.

They're expecting a tough competition.

"We're looking forward to showing what we can do on the court as a team," they said.

Tallara is a talented goal attack or centre while Emiah is very good in defence as either a goalkeeper or goal defence.

Under-17 captain Isla Smith said they had been training twice a week and were focused on developing the team as a whole.

"We have attended three carnivals, coming away with good results," she said.

"This year our focus for state titles is on our processes, making sure we do the basics right and use our set plays across the court.

"If we do that right, then results should take care of themselves."
