In a statement on Sunday the premier said the lower rate of transmission amongst younger people meant all sports training and competition will resume for under 18s.
Youngsters will be able to get back to playing sport from Monday week as training and competition reopens for 18-year-olds and under, while non contact sport will be allowed across all age groups.
Indoor sports centres and gyms will be able to open to 20 people per space, with a cap of up to 10 per group for those over the age of 18.
Non-contact sports competition can also begin across every age group.
Local footy teams, soccer clubs and other contact sports will be able to resume training for over 18s from 13 July.
From July 20, full competition can begin too, however both the BFNL and CHFL have held fire on any decision to resume play due to the restrictions on crowd numbers.
Sunday's announcement from the Premier did not make any new revelations on crowds.
But clubs and community facilities will also be able to reopen their changerooms.
From Monday June 22 , libraries, community centres and halls will also be able to open to 50 people. Religious ceremonies can also increase to 50.
From June 22 pubs and clubs will be able to host up to 50 seated patrons, with no requirement to purchase a meal with your drink, however you'll need to give your contact details and table service restrictions will still apply.
And from 20 July, electronic gaming areas at pubs, clubs and TABs will be reopened with strict distancing, cleaning and hygiene requirements.
The same increased limit will apply to galleries, museums and amusement parks, as well as libraries, community centres and halls, cinemas, concert venues, theatres and auditoriums.
