Tornadoes coach Sarah Veale has given conditional support to participate but not at the expense of playing extra games for both teams.

The cancellation of the NBL1 season led Basketball Tasmania to propose the Tornadoes women, North West Chargers men and Hobart Chargers men and women join an expanded league.

"I think it's awesome that Basketball Tasmania is inviting our team in," Veale said.

"I think for our group, given we are so young, most of us play with their coastal or other club team or play for Launceston [in the State League], and I guess we just need understand how that would look for our girls.

"We wouldn't want them playing double-up games because we're not going to be training to be game fit.

"The last thing we would want is a stack of injuries.

"I think it's a real exciting idea, great concept, but how it could work or how it would look I think we just have to wait and see first."

The Tornadoes have yet to make an an official stance before getting a formal invite from Basketball Tasmania.

But the club could consider playing Hobart in a series of exhibition clashes after without signed imports keely Froling and Megan McKay.

Part of a new State League proposal would revert the competition format back to a 2016 home-and-away series model that results in twice as many games rather than over gala weekends in Devonport, Hobart and Launceston.

The Lightning sides have represented players from the winter LBA competition that combine its best players to take on clubs in the state, especially in the North-West, of a long traditional history.

Veale said the Tornadoes playing in an one-off State League appearance would hurt the Lightning should players be forced to choose.

"I think for us five or six of our girls that's almost three-quarters would be in a Launceston team," she said.

"It is an exciting idea still and the girls just want to play some games this year, but we wouldn't want to put them at risk either. I just don't know how it would work, so it's up in the air."
