WNBL Ambassadors

Price Attack WNBL Ambassadors is an initiative that aims to assist the League to achieve a positive and professional public image for players and the sport.

Facilitated by the WNBL, the program enlists the support of eight Price Attack WNBL Ambassadors (one per team). Each Price Attack WNBL Ambassador becomes the key player representative for their team, making various promotional appearances throughout the season and assisting the club to establish links to the local community. The Ambassadors Program provides an open forum for the eight players to remain up-to-date with all relevant issues in the league and assists players to gain confidence and grow their professional skills away from the basketball court.

The ambassador representing the Adelaide Lightning is Sam Woosnam.
