When Maddy Rocci was a child full of big hopes and aspirations, she made a list of everything she wanted to achieve.

From playing for the Opals in the Olympics to featuring in America's WNBA, the point guard was dreaming big, and on Monday she moved one step closer to ticking off a bucket-list item.

Rocci received a training-camp contract with the WNBA's Toronto Tempo, meaning she will have two weeks to prove to mentor Sandy Brondello - also the Australian Opals coach - why she deserves a spot on the team.

If the 27-year-old is successful, she'll earn her first fully guaranteed WNBA contract.

"I had missed calls from my agent, and after my game yesterday I saw a contract sitting in my inbox from the Toronto Tempo," Rocci told AAP.

"When he (the Toronto agent) called me, he just said 'Congratulations', and I was more shocked because you never know where your basketball journey will take you.

"When I was a little kid, I wrote down my goals and what I wanted to do as a basketball player, and it was to play in the WNBA."

Rocci isn't the only Australian to receive a training deal, with Miela Sowah (Golden State Valkyries), Anneli Maley (New York Liberty) and Ally Wilson (Washington Mystics) pocketing contracts ahead of the camps, which begin this month.

"Women's basketball (in Australia) is definitely thriving ... the future is in such good hands," Rocci said.

Elsewhere on Monday, Isobel Borlase signed a rookie-scale contract with the Atlanta Dream after a stellar season with the Bendigo Spirit, where she earned the WNBL's MVP award, becoming the youngest winner in more than a decade.

The 21-year-old's WNBA contract happened after she was drafted by the Dream in 2024, but didn't take the court.

Australian sharpshooter Sami Whitcomb reportedly signed a $US1.4 million ($A2 million) two-year deal with the Phoenix Mercury, after she helped the Arizona-based side to the grand final last season.

And fellow Opals guard Jade Melbourne inked a reported $US500,000 ($A712,000) deal with the Seattle Storm after spending the past two seasons with Washington.

Seattle drafted the UC Capitals star in 2022, and in 2023 she became one of the youngest athletes to play in the league.

Melbourne will join Ezi Magbegor, who re-signed with Seattle after reportedly being offered a $1.4 million ($A2 million) contract.

The flurry of signings comes as teams scramble to strike deals with players during the WNBA free agency period, ahead of the league's draft on Tuesday (AEST) and season start in May.

Tasmanian Alanna Smith signed a $US3.68 million ($5.2 million) contract with the Dallas Wings on Sunday, making it the richest contract ever signed by an Australian woman in team sport.
