Wagga will send an under 16s girls team to Warwick Farm while four boys will fly the flag for the city as part of other sides.
With Wagga not having the numbers for an under 16s boys team of their own Austin Gooden and Josh Sarantakos will line up for Newcastle while Tyler Barclay and Deshawn Lyons will be part of Orange's campaign.
All are looking forward to their chance to further themselves and push for higher honours.
It's been a tough start to the season with record November rainfall limiting opportunities for both play and training.
However there is plenty of excitement to take part in the delayed event.
"They will get a great experience out of it playing against the best players in NSW," Wagga softball communications manager Prue Adams said.
"From here they will be looking to select NSW squads for nationals in April."
Wagga's girls team will be boosted by a couple of imports from Orange and Manly to ensure they have a full contingent while representatives for the under 14 divisions will play next week.
