Rocci will join Canberra Capitals teammates Marianna Tolo and Kelsey Griffin at the camp with Sandy Brondello set to cast her eye over a group of Tokyo hopefuls.

The Opals coach says the camp, which runs from January 7-10 on the Gold Coast following the WNBL season, provides a perfect opportunity for the side to link up on the road to the Games.

It doubles as a chance for Rocci to stake her claim once more having so far enjoyed the best season of her budding WNBL career.

The two-time champion has long been regarded as one of Australia's most promising young players and now Rocci has become a focal point for the Capitals on both sides of the floor.

"With the majority of the current Opals squad playing in this year's WNBL and the timing of the league allowing me to come home to observe our athletes, conducting this camp enables the perfect touchpoint as we approach an important year for the national team," Brondello said.

"While this isn't a selection camp for the Olympics, it will provide an opportunity for the coaching panel to work the playing group both on and off the court to set the tone for the 12 months ahead."

The Opals squad will eventually be trimmed to 12, with the potential of players coming in or out of the squad as Brondello looks to settle on a roster capable of delivering a gold medal.

Rocci will be back in action for the Capitals against the Perth Lynx in their penultimate game of the regular season at Townsville Stadium on Thursday night.

Opals squad: Rebecca Allen, Zitina Aokuso, Sara Blicavs, Elizabeth Cambage, Rebecca Cole, Katie-Rae Ebzery, Darcee Garbin, Cayla George, Kelsey Griffin, Shyla Heal, Tessa Lavey, Tess Madgen, Ezi Magbegor, Tiana Mangakahia, Leilani Mitchell, Lauren Nicholson, Jenna O'Hea, Maddison Rocci, Jaz Shelley, Alanna Smith, Stephanie Talbot, Marianna Tolo, Sami Whitcomb.
