League president Brendan I'Anson said clubs were "busting" to play football and netball and believes goodwill will prevail when the coronavirus lifts sometime after May 31.
Clashes with cricket shape as a potential stumbling block while finals may have to be switched from league headquarters with the Walbundrie Show set down for Monday, October 5.
"A lot of ideas are being thrown around which is great as you want to have plans in place for when the season hopefully starts," I'Anson said.
We will do everything we can do start as clubs are busting to play. I think everyone would be flexible if we got going in June or July

I'Anson said there was particularly strong interest in the competition with seven clubs - Howlong, Rand-Walbundrie-Walla, Lockhart, Osborne, Billabong Crows, Henty and Culcairn - appointing new coaches.
