The government has eased coronavirus restrictions, Chief Minister Andrew Barr giving the go ahead for groups of 10 people to kick the footy at the park.

But ACT sport grounds are still technically closed and associations have been given no indication when that will change or what measures they will need to put in place to allow clubs at all levels to start training.

The cross-border nature of Canberra's rugby league, union, Australian football, soccer and hockey competitions has added another layer of complications given the NSW government has not agreed to gatherings of 10 people.

It would mean Canberra clubs training while their Queanbeyan, Goulburn and surrounding regions are unable to take the field.

Individual sports are working through the issues with clubs and trying to determine whether there will be a blanket training ban until everyone can participate or to push ahead as soon as possible.

There are still several issues which needed to be finalised before teams can start training and eventually move towards games.

The ACT government said the Chief Health Officer was still working through procedures and details on Saturday.

Training will be in line with the AIS return to play guidelines, which will be staged depending on government decisions. The first phase will be groups of 10, but limited or no contact. Training will progress to larger groups and then full contact before games can resume.

Most competitions are aiming to restart in mid July, giving them a three-month window for competition before the summer sport season beings.

All ACT sports have already started negotiations with cricket about the availability of grounds if the winter codes are extended and potentially needing to share facilities.

But teams are still confused about when they can train and if organised sport will be free to start ramping up training in the coming days.

Several clubs contacted association bosses to seek clarification about the 10-person rule.

MORE CANBERRA SPORT

Canberra Region Rugby League boss Mark Vergano said officials were still working with the sport and recreation government department to determine guidelines.

"It's cautionary at this stage, but there is some positive intent coming through that we might be able to get athletes of all ages to do some activity. That's great for physical and mental wellbeing," Vergano said.

"Everything is heading in the right direction with the work on those return to play protocols, but we have to keep complying because that will allow us to get back on the field."

Canberra rugby league teams have expressed a preference for full training for at least one month before a proposed start date of July 18, which was set by the NSW Rugby League.

But it's understood teams could agree to as few as two weeks of preparation before starting a season to ensure they could maximise the length of a season.

Asked when community and junior sport could restart, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said: "That's up to the states and territories.

"They'll have to outline their plans, but what you can see now under step one should the states move on that, is training would be able to occur for types of sports. Step two involves community sport." Step two involves groups of 20 being able to train."

Meanwhile, Vergano sent a message to all amateur rugby league stakeholders this week to address concerns about the NRL's 'no jab no play' protocols regarding flu shots.

Some parents and players were feared the flu shot would become compulsory at all levels of rugby league, with concerns raised with officials after news emerged of NRL players being stood down because of their immunisation refusal.

Three Canberra Raiders - Sia Soliola, Josh Papalii and Joe Tapine - have been cleared to continue training despite their stance. Queensland has forced three players to stand down for refusing the injection.

"The protocols at this stage are solely for the NRL as a professional sport," the statement said.

"There have been no decisions taken in this area for community sport. The CRRL continues to work closely governments and take appropriate medical advice as well as working with its head affiliated body, the NSW Rugby League, on all aspects of the potential return to play protocols.

"As these protocols are developed and decided upon, the local rugby league community will be advised accordingly."
