Golden Square sisters Abbey and Ashley Ryan have won selection in the 12-member 19-and-under squad, while Sandhurst's Elley Lawton was chosen in the 19-and under development squad.

The Ryans were part of the Sovereigns inaugural 19 and under squad, which made it all the way to the preliminary final stage.

Goal shooter Abbey was one of the standouts in the preliminary final loss to eventual runner-up Geelong, scoring 15 goals and was the winner of the BFNL’s netball rising star award in 2015.

The siblings were key figures in Golden Square's BFNL A-grade netball premiership this season.

Lawton is also in her second season with Sovereigns.

The young defender was named best-on-court in Sandhurst's narrow A-reserve grand final loss to Golden Square.

She was also a key member of the North Central 17-and-under team which won the Netball Victoria state title in Bendigo last month.

Meanwhile, Sovereigns have given their championship squad a major overhaul for the 2016 season.

New coach Johannah Curran has retained just one player, goaler Laura McDonald, from last season’s squad, which  won just one game in its first year in the VNL.

The wholesale changes come after a three-week selection process headed by Curran, who was appointed in September to replace  Natasha Choklijat.

Sovereigns chairman Bill Mundy said that the former Australian Diamond had been a considerable drawcard for strong talent.

Former West Coast Fever and Queensland Firebird player Janelle Lawson headlines an impressive list of recruits. 

Mundy earmarked emerging young stars Amelia Brock and Tayla Honey as prospects who are set to flourish under Lawson's on-court guidance.

Brock enjoyed a successful 2015 campaign for the City West Falcons in the VNL, winning the 19/under most valuable player award, while Falcons teammate Honey featured in the Australian 19/under squad for this year's Trans-Tasman tournament in May.

Another Falcons product, 2015 VNL 19/under team of the year member Casey Adamson joins the team, as does Perth Lions product Alice Coakley and decorated Alicia Janz.

Just 16 players in total from the inaugural three Sovereigns teams have been retained.
