The talented youngsters from Palmer's Gym will feature across the extensive program, ranging from junior athletes to the elite end of the spectrum.
Aislinn Lavin, Matisse Cugura, Lucy Harrison, Tahlia Sims, Chloe Swatton, Latisha Painter, Taya Nichols, Eliza Sabaliauskas and Reuben Roessler all qualified to compete at the nationals.
The nine tumblers are part of Victoria's team, which will be the biggest team the state has sent to the Australian Championships since 1999.
They all underwent rigorous training to gain selection into the titles.
A total of 1300 athletes and 600 athletes will be involved in the festival of gymnastics.
Australian titles will be on the line across all disciplines, with spots on the national team for this year's world championships also up for grabs.
The competition will run between May 18 and 30 at Hisense Arena.
