The parent body believes that people can be strictly managed in the large spaces of stadiums.
Basketball Victoria has prepared "Return to Sport" guidelines in conjunction with associations and advice from Basketball Australia and its chief medical officer.
The guidelines refer to various levels of risk management to enable youngsters to get back on the court including, the flow of traffic in and out of venues, time restrictions, compulsory cleaning, sanitisation and restrictions on players, officials and parents per court.
Basketball Victoria chief executive officer Nick Honey said associations and clubs did an amazing job of inspiring kids of all abilities to pick up a basketball, remain engaged and enjoy the benefits of the sport.
"We have also worked hard together to ensure we are well-placed to return to play under various scenarios and restrictions that may be imposed on us.
"Grassroots is our key priority - there is no level of basketball in Victoria without it.
"Fortunately, the early funding initiatives provided through state and federal government are alleviating some of the immediate pressures on the sport, but basketball still faces significant adversity.
"It is anticipated the impacts of the pandemic will hit the sport through 2021 and beyond," he said.
The Federal Government on Friday announced a three-step roadmap and national framework to reducing COVID-19 restrictions.
The last step, expected to be introduced in July, allows gatherings of 100 people, but the plan did not specify whether these would be permitted for indoor sporting facilities.
Australian Opals' captain Jenna O'Hea, in supporting Basketball Victoria, said it was important for teams to get back on the court for social connections and lifting spirits to improve societies wellbeing.
"I think routine and having places to be and keeping busy is good for our mental health, so getting back on the court and into regular trainings and commitments is important whenever it is safe to do so."
O'Hea said things were changing so rapidly and decisions could be difficult.
Basketball Victoria says it is working closely with the Victorian Government to seek clarity on timelines and demonstrate solutions for potential resumption barriers.
Basketball organisations have a large footprint across the state, leasing and hiring court-space from every Victorian municipality - with 465 indoor facilities and more than 1000 courts being used regularly throughout the year.
About 420,000 basketball participants in Victorian stopped playing in the space of a day six weeks ago when the COVID-19 lockdown was introduced.
This included 240,000 registered members as well as another 180,000 casual participants - creating more than $750m annually in societal impact.
