Football NSW boss Stuart Hodge circulated an email on Wednesday night outlining the positive news, which has been made possible as social distancing restrictions ease further on Friday.

The restrictions allow for outdoor gatherings for up to ten people, but a framework will be implemented specifically for community sport.

Football Federation Australia initially suspended all grassroots football until at least May 31, and Football Wagga had hoped to begin training about a month later.

But the easing of restrictions could give clubs a chance to train for five to six weeks together under social distancing guidelines, with Football Wagga hoping to start their season by mid-July.

The developments were discussed by Football Wagga and club representatives via teleconference on Wednesday night, where a working party was formed to begin planning for a season and developing season draws.

"They're fairly confident once the new sporting guidelines come out that we can go back to training probably by the end of next week," Football Wagga president Tony Dobbin said.

"When we spoke to the clubs last night (Wednesday) there was a positive sense that we can move on now.

"The start of training was once looking like the first week of July, but now we'll have five or six weeks of training before the current restrictions are lifted.

"It's still to be finalised and agreed to by the Office of Sport. Once they become happy, they'll make recommendations to NSW government that training is OK provided certain guidelines are followed."

A teleconference between Football NSW and its clubs is expected to be held on Tuesday night where the process going forward will be outlined.

Football Wagga will also need to seek approval to use grounds owned by the eight local councils which fall in their footprint, but are confident an agreement will be reached.

Playing fees are also expected to be reduced slightly, and junior seasons are likely to conclude around their regular finishing dates.
