Massive demand for sport to watch and play at the minute. Football understands that, and have pushed hard to get back. This is the case at the NRL / AFL level, and now at the local football level. Bball is missing an opportunity to fill a void. Time to get going.
Yes 110% I'm missing the nbl1 big time. Hoping the nbl doesn’t start to late.
Bias governments allowing the red carpet to be rolled out for football but holding basketball back.
Look at SA. Marshall Liberal government doing everything he could to get junior footy back on but bball was held back. Kids moving to football. The game gets weaker. Blame governments for their ridiculous restrictions. Currently multi court stadiums can only have twenty people in it yet full contact football training allowed. Remember this come election time.

Actually, when you think about it, might have been good to bring that and other bball forward and try to get some attention in the absence of other competitive sport. OP has a point. Some cajoling and organisation could have made that happen. Perhaps a missed opp.
Indoor sport v outdoor sport. No red carpet, just proximity of people.

Indoor / outdoor is valid. But footy does seem to be more ready to go and have announced the start of the season on 12 July. Am sure there's heaps of work going on to get the junior seasons going by a lot of good people, and would be good to hear more about expected timing.

Indoor trainings about to start up fully again. Games can't be too far away.
