The association's committee will meet on Wednesday to discuss the rolling back of some of the state government's restrictions surrounding public gatherings.
However, association president Steve Betts said he was still unsure when competitions would return to the court.

"We are operating under the guidelines of both the government and Netball NSW," Betts said.
"Netball NSW has been very supportive and has allowed every individual association to make its own decisions about coming back.
"However, we haven't really decided yet and I think we are probably more inclined to just wait and see for the time being."
Netball NSW has already made some alterations to it's schedule by moving its annual junior and senior representative carnivals to the October long weekend.
"There has been a tentative start date of July 18 put out there by Netball NSW, but we are still unsure how viable that is," Betts said.
"We're hoping we will know more after our meeting and be back on court soon.
"However, we are not trying to get anyone's hopes up and will tackle this as it comes."
Betts said he was confident this year's representative carnivals would still go ahead.
"I think moving them to October was a really good move and will hopefully give our players something to look forward to," he said.
"Hopefully things get back to normal by then and we can fit in some of the carnivals and stuff we have missed somewhere else along the line."
