In 2021, it's the Australian Masters Games.
The games are held every two years, alternating with the Pan Pacific Masters Games.
Crittle and Green have competed at both and are hopeful the borders open up in time for the 2021 event to be held in Perth in October.
The women will link up with the Penrith-based Lady Hawks - after playing in the team the last few Masters - and will be taking a couple extra Tamworth players with them.
"We're going with them [the Lady Hawks] but we've got Amanda [Nicholas] and Roo [Bowen] is going as coach," Crittle said.

It will be Nicholas', who like Green can play as a catcher, first time at the Australian Masters.
"I can't wait," she said.
Crittle and Green are also itching to get there and had a warm-up at the Great Barrier Reef Masters Games earlier this year.
They played with Hooters which was made up of players from the Lady Hawks as well as players from Cairns.
"We played nine games over the weekend and came away with a gold medal," Crittle said.
It was a "nice little holiday" for the pair as well as they escaped the Tamworth cold.
"We left Tamworth at zero degrees and got to Cairns at 22 degrees," Green said.
The trip to Perth will be similar as the group combine "a holiday with the sport we love" while getting the chance to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.
