They will also attend the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game on the 19 July.
Habbal was individually selected for the camp based on her outstanding basketball skills and leadership abilities.
In this year's WNBL1 Playoff Final, Habbal, collected MVP honours, leading the CoLA offence and dropping a game-high 17 points to go with nine rebounds, three assists and a pair of steals. She also picked up D1W U19 Player of the Season, as well as the WEABL South's MVP award.
"Everyone at CoLA is really excited for Ayla’s opportunity out at BWB in Indianapolis, she has a tireless work ethic and it’s amazing for her to get this recognition.
"We will all be following her progress and we know know Ayla will have an amazing experience out there. As her coach, I’m so proud of her growth as a player and the resilience she’s shown this summer especially."
