A powerhouse association, the Devils will feature in boys and girls divisions from under 10s to under 18s, with the exception of the under 10 girls competition.
And there is huge incentive for the Illawarra juniors to qualify through, with the state finals to be played at Dalton Park in April. The top eight teams from the southern conference will meet those qualified from last weekend's northern section.
"We're confident we can get them all through," Wollongong vice-president Tim Robinson said.
"It's a big opportunity for all the age groups, to make it to the State Cup and come back home and play in front of family and friends."
The State Cup is expected to attract about 6000 people to play and support the 160 teams competing.
Jackson Haynes and Maddy Collimore have been named club captains to help mentor the squads.
