Although Monday marked the beginning of sport's roadmap to return, clubs still have to conform to guidelines laid out by Football Tasmania.

Launceston City, Riverside Olympic, Launceston United and Northern Rangers have shared FT's Facebook post which states they must have approval from local councils and submitted formal plans to the state body.

NPL Tasmania rivals City and Olympic are working with Meander Valley and West Tamar councils respectively to achieve this.

FT chief executive Matt Bulkeley welcomed the ability to train in groups of up to 10 but encouraged all participants to pay close attention to the guidelines.

"I know there's thousands of players of all ages itching to lace up the boots and it's fantastic we are now able to get back on the training pitch," he said.

"We are confident our management plan will ensure everyone participates safely.

"I strongly encourage all participants to abide by the rules so we can safely move to playing matches again as quickly as possible."

Accepting the onus was on clubs to implement social distancing and hygiene measures, City's management said it has been "frustrating" to receive the required documentation with just a day's notice.

"The club respects this is a delicate process and supports the need for these measures," it said.

"Rest assured the club has jumped on the front foot and has immediately commenced the process of meeting these requirements.

"Training will be transitioned over several weeks to ensure we can thoroughly monitor the process and continue to meet the guidelines placed upon the club.

"Once our return to training plan is completed and approved by Football Tasmania, communication will commence with coaches and support staff around our return to training."

United made a similar statement as the club prepared its return to Birch Avenue.

"Despite the positive announcement by Football Tasmania, the club still has to complete some important steps prior to training returning," it said.

"We will update everyone once we are able to return to training. Thank you all for your patience."

Riverside is in the same boat at Windsor Park.

"Unfortunately, there are still a number of hurdles to cross before we can actually return to training," Olympic president Stuart McCarron told players.

"We are as keen as you to get back to training but cannot do so without permission.

"So whilst we all have been excited to read the media release from FT there could be a bit more of a wait."

Bulkeley said the next milestone to aim for is a resumption of competitions which should be possible from July 13 as part of the Government's third stage of easing restrictions.
