Maddison Rocci

With her high basketball IQ, offensive prowess and tenacity, Rocci has established herself as one the country’s leading point guards.

An Australian junior representative, she honed her skills alongside some of the country’s finest play makers in Leilani Mitchell and Kelly Wilson at the Canberra Capitals and as a rookie was part of the team’s back-to-back championships in 2018-19 and 2019-20.

Rocci moved home to Victoria in 2021 to join the Southside Flyers and has further developed into a genuine star of the competition.

She realised her Opals dream when she made her debut at the 2022 FIBA World Cup Qualifying Tournament and in 2023 was a member of the Australian team which won a bronze medal on home soil at the FIBA Asia Cup in Sydney.

In season 2023-24, Rocci notched her 150^th WNBL game and won her third championship.
