BFNL general manager Shane Anwyl said the agenda would feature a wide range of issues, with clubs facing numerous challenges to ensure they were set to go if and when playing games was given the green light.

He expects discussions to deal with the demands of meeting far-reaching training and match-day protocols.

Anwyl said there was no doubt clubs would need a greater support base with more volunteers for match-days, with running junior games requiring even more hands-on work than senior fixtures.

He said with crowd number restrictions set to be part of any return to playing games, venues would need to be looked at closely.

Anwyl said not all BFNL junior grounds could be closed off.

He said if those venues were going to be used, more volunteers would need to be sourced to manage numbers.

"There's going to be lots of questions which need to be answered."

Anwyl said one advantage juniors had over seniors in the BFNL was that they would require a shorter time span for a season in which all teams played each other once.

While the senior competition has 11 teams, juniors have a maximum of 10, with some of the higher age groups having nine.

He said this provided more scope for a starting time to a season featuring finals.

Anwyl said having a junior competition was not reliant on a senior season getting up and going.

He believes there is potentially more flexibility to have a shortened junior competition even if seniors were unable to play.

He agreed that any form of competition would be particularly beneficial for the welfare of youngsters, as well as helping with player retention.

Anwyl said there was already an indication that numbers might drop off this year and potentially make it difficult for some clubs to field second sides in various age groups.
