While it is up to the NSW government to determine when sport across the state will return, the federal government's head sporting body has release its roadmap as coronavirus restrictions continue to ease.
Training in groups of ten under social distancing guidelines is already permitted and clubs are being encouraged to take at least a week to educate their members on protocols.
"I urge all sporting participants not to jump the starting gun " Sports Australia chief executive Rob Dalton said.
The Return To Sport Toolkit navigates through stages Prevent, Prepare, Respond and Recover on ensuring the safest environment for clubs which rely heavily on volunteers.
"In the Prevent stage, it concentrates on steps like getting your COVID-19 Safety Plan in place and communicating that with members. Practical steps in the Prepare stage are looking at safe facility practises, like hand-sanitisers, attendance registers at training. Sports also need to be prepared for illness management, noting things can change quickly in your local area."
The guidelines can be found at sportaus.gov.au.
