League officials met with AFL Canberra clubs on Wednesday, presenting plans of a July-restart for both junior and senior competitions.

The season's structure and return date is hinged on the ease of coronavirus restrictions, with sporting teams in Canberra likely to given the green light to start contact training in mid-June.

The most plausible option for the senior competition is to cut the 15-round season down to 10 rounds, providing full home-and-away series for each club in the six-team competition.

Tuggeranong Valley Football Club president Leo Lahey wants a competitive season for the amalgamated club's inaugural year, but concedes it's dependent on the loosening of restrictions.

"The overall sentiment across the senior clubs in Canberra was in favour of having a proper season. The AFL were very committed to making sure that occurred as well." Lahey said.

"In the senior football competition, I certainly think we've got the time and capacity to have a normal season.

"It may be less than 15 rounds, but I think in the competitive age groups the overwhelming sense in our community is to get out onto the park and play. Yes, have fun but they also want to compete and challenge themselves against other clubs.

"We're in favour of having a slightly modified version of the normal system, which includes playing for points and having a competition."

The ACT government announced an easing of restrictions earlier this week to allow sports to start training in groups of 20. It's likely clubs will have to slightly adjust their coronavirus plans, outlining how they will safely adapt to the loosened restriction.

Some clubs have raised concerns over recent weeks about how they can be financially supported if the season goes ahead, given licensed clubs and sponsors might have withdrawn their funding amid the pandemic.

"Every club has its own challenges. There's a lot of goodwill across all senior clubs in Canberra to try and assist each other through this time, as well as get a competition up and running," Lahey said.

"It's quite refreshing."

Tuggeranong Valley announced David Smith, the Federal Member for Bean, as the club's inaugural patron on Thursday.

"He's a big supporter of sport in the Valley. As we got to know him, we realised we're a really good fit for each other," Lahey said.

"As a club, we wanted to have a patron that represented the Tuggeranong Valley community but also what we're about as a football club, so far as supporting its members, the broader community and providing opportunities for kids and adults to participate.

"David was really on board with that and we're excited to have him on board."
