According to president Martin Power, the prospect of a having three months of junior footy this winter looked extremely unlikely four weeks ago and he's stoked that the competition's in the position it's in right now.

"If we could get eight rounds in - based on where we were a month ago - that would be a great outcome," Power said.

"It obviously depends on the outbreaks and the protocols the government puts into place... it'll depend what they decide.

"We've got pretty positive feedback from the clubs at this stage. Not everyone will be in it if they don't want to be."

Some age groups have as many ten teams per competition, whereas other have as little as seven.

Some of the things that will be decided on is the amount of people that are allowed to gather at these games and although each kid needs transport to and from the oval on a Saturday, a limit on crowd wouldn't affect the kid's competition as much as it would the men's one.

"We don't rely on gate money like the senior clubs so it's a bit easier for us to get up and running," he said.

"But we'd have to look at whether or not there'd be 20 kids allowed in a dressing shed and things like that.

"The government's managed it all pretty well so far so let's hope he keeps going that way."

From a community standpoint, junior rugby league not only serves as an outlet for kids, but relieves parents for a few hours every Saturday and Power says it plays an important role and its return is pivotal.

"Kids would be going stir crazy I reckon," Power laughed.

"It's also possible that if some of the kids did sit out and entire 12 months, they'd feel less inclined to come back next season and it's the same with referees."

As it stands, the goal for Group 10 junior rugby league is to kick-off an eight round competition (with no weeks off), starting on July 18 before entering into a three-week finals series.

League tag has roughly 2,500 players set to go ahead with the season and its structure will be the same, only with its games to be played on Sunday.

Girls have the option to play contact rugby league up until under 12s and will also be able to put themselves forward for the western region women's tournament that commences in October and has teams in the under 13s, 15s, 18s and open-age categories.
