The Peel Football and Netball League is hoping to hold a 14-round season in 2020, kicking off sometime in mid-to-late June with finals wrapping up in late October.
But the level of uncertainty surrounding local football's return across the state remains high, with the league understanding the shortened season is an absolute best case scenario.
There is a whole contingent of hurdles the competition will need to leap before it can resume at all: the predominant one being a ban on supporters attending games.
The league and its clubs rely heavily on ticket sales to pay for umpires, while costs for general administration and equipment would present a challenge.

Throw in the fact clubs won't be making any money selling beers or hotdogs and you can begin to picture how tough it would be to hold games.
Ticket sales from the league's finals series also often help set clubs up for the coming 12 months, and missing out on that cash in particular would create a whole new headache.
"Our biggest concern is that yes, we want a season to go ahead, but we need to know it's viable to do that," PFNL general manager Geoff Hiller said.
"At the end of the day it's up to our clubs.
"We need to get to a point where it is financially viable for them, and where they feel comfortable saying 'yep, let's go ahead'."
Essentially, without fans, the games must run at minimal cost - and even then it remains a financial risk.
But the league remains optimistic that, should the ideal scenario play out, a near-full season could be played with 14 rounds just four shy of it's usual 18-week fixture.
"There's still so much that has to happen for us to get restarted, but if we could run from late June and finish our season in late October or early November, I think that's the best situation we could hope for," Hiller said.
"It's important for us and for the community to have local footy back, everyone wants it to happen, but it needs to be sustainable.
"Ultimately, we just need to wait to hear from federal and state government and the [WA Football Commission], and then we can make a decision."
As things currently stand, the commission has postponed any football activity until May 31.
This means despite the state government allowing groups of 10 to congregate, players are still banned from training at their club.
The federal government teamed up with the Australian Institute of Sport last week to announce the Return to Sport National Guiding Principles, with an update expected to be provided by Prime Minister Scott Morrison this Friday (May 8).
