I was so excited when I first found out,” beamed 18-year-old Heal. “It’s been one of my main goals since I was a little girl and now that it is happening it makes me so hungry to keep on developing my skills and body to compete at the highest levels. 
 
“It is such a talented squad and I can’t wait to train alongside the best women in our country.“
 
Heal who has played for the Australian Under-17 and Under-19s teams over the past three years is touted as a high 2021 WNBA draft prospect. 
 
A spot on the Opals 2021 Olympic squad is also a possibility. If she goes to Tokyo, Heal will emulate her father, four time Olympian Shane Heal.
