Launceston Tornadoes coach Sarah Veale believes her team will play the Hobart Chargers instead of the scheduled game against Ringwood Hawks.

"We really hope there's a game this weekend and we will let everyone know as soon as it's confirmed," she said.

Ongoing border closures have impeded the season and Veale suspects the remainder of the NBL1 South fixture may need to be cancelled with a move straight into conference finals, like NBL1 North decided on Tuesday it would do.

"We suspect it will happen, but we really don't know," Veale said.

"I think if Melbourne is in lockdown for another two weeks that takes us to early-September and that is the start of the original finals campaign, but they have moved to mid-September."

The WNBL season is due to begin in the first week of November, with pre-season training likely to start some time in October, leaving little room for further delays of the NBL1 fixture.

"They've already pushed the season out by two weeks and with the WNBL starting I don't think it can be pushed out any further, so I think it is out as far as it can be," the Torns' coach said.

"We don't want the season to finish without finals, but if we can't get to Melbourne because of the border restrictions then there's absolutely nothing we can do, but while we can make it work we need to continue to make it work."

Despite all the uncertainty and constant changes due to coronavirus outbreaks, Veale said NBL1 had been very supportive and was focused on trying to get people onto the court whenever possible.

"NBL1 has been fantastic in terms of communicating," she said.

"We have been really supported by them and they are just trying to save the competition and league as they go."

It's been almost seven weeks since the Torns took to the court, but the team has continued to maintain its rigorous training regime.

"We are still practising and still doing scrimmages against other teams," Veale said.

"Our goal is finals and we keep that in everything we do. We need to stay as ready as we can to stay in the best shape possible for finals in September."

Torns spend Mondays on court at Deloraine and they use the back courts at Elphin on Thursdays.

"We get a couple of practises on the international court when games are cancelled," Veale said.

The team also adds training sessions to their schedule when games have been unable to go ahead.

"The girls are very goal-driven and we prepare every week for those games," Veale said.

"The only thing missing is games and that's very challenging."

An escape room might not be where you would expect to see the Torns, but the team has tried to diversify training to keep everyone motivated during such an unpredictable season.

"We went to Devonport this Saturday to mix it up a bit because we didn't want it to be that 'Yeah, it's Monday why are we doing this' feeling," Veale said.

Veale said having a strong team culture and the support of the Launceston community helped them stay focused.

"Keely [Froling] who leads from the front is very driven and the girls really respect her, so she helps the younger girls stay motivated," Veale said.

"I take my hat off to the girls because it's hard as an athlete to stay fit and ready. It's hard work, they're at the gym three mornings a week at 6am and doing individual shooting and cardio.

"They believe in our process and that we are ready for finals and we just keep going."

Sitting in fifth place on the ladder, the Torns had a strong start to the season with 10 wins and four losses, placing them in a good position to achieve their goal.

"The Launceston community started this journey with us and we've had a really good year, so we want to make it all the way to the grand final," Veale said.

"Everywhere we go everyone is really interested and always asking when are we playing.

"Hopefully next season will be a little bit easier. Everybody just needs to get vaccinated."

Despite not having income from home games, Veale said the club was very financially secure.
