A local rugby union team was seen training in a large group at a north Canberra oval on Saturday morning.
Training was ended once the group was spoken to by police and no further action was taken.
It comes after the ACT government announced the easing of some coronavirus restrictions on Friday, allowing boot camps and physical training to take place outdoors with a maximum of 10 people.
"ACT Policing was called to a north Canberra sports ground on Saturday morning regarding a group of people conducting sports training," a police statement read.
"After speaking to the organiser the training was concluded and the participants left the ground. No further police action was required.
"ACT Policing urges sports clubs to regularly check the ACT government COVID-19 website for the most up-to-date information of what is permitted as health directions change."
We're really not encouraging organised sport at this point in time.
- ACT health minister Rachel Stephen-Smith
ACT Rugby has been in contact with clubs regularly and reaffirmed its position no one should be training until at least June 1.
The easing of social distancing restrictions has caused confusion on whether teams can start training in groups of 10, despite instructions from their individual sporting organisations.
ACT health minister Rachel Stephen-Smith clarified on Monday that organised sport was still restricted to two people, despite the easing of restrictions on outdoor social gatherings.
"My understanding is [the police] did break up a couple of groups of sports people who were training and playing sport together," Stephen-Smith said.
"I think it is important to recognise that while the directions were expanded in relation to gatherings to include informal and social gatherings of 10, organised sport is still restricted to two people under current restrictions.
"We're really not encouraging organised sport at this point in time until we've had the next stage in the opening of directions and see what that looks like."
ACT sports grounds remain closed and associations have been given no indication when that will change or what protocols will need to be put in place once teams start training.
AFL Canberra and local rugby league teams have also expressed confusion on when they can start planning their return to the training paddock.
Some soccer teams are considering going ahead in small groups of 10 this week but others are waiting instruction from Capital Football.
Queanbeyan teams have different restrictions to their ACT counterparts.
However, the NSW government will ease some restrictions from Friday, including lifting the limit of outdoor gatherings to 10 people.
