There's hope that local winter events can still finish what they started but further-reaching sporting associations involving Bathurst schools, such the Independent Sporting Association (ISA), have had to make early adjustments for the season to come.

Scots All Saints College sports administrator Mark Wilkinson said the pathway for some summer sports remains clearer than others at this point.

"The ISA have been awesome with us in regional areas because we've been able to come up with a few triangular series between Kinross and Stannies," he said.

"For example, we hadn't played a [ISA] rugby match since term two ... but in term three we got to play each other and our players got a lot out of that.

"We're still working on an ISA summer program. We've got a tri-series with Kinross and Stannies for tennis, which is ready to go, but that's dependent on when we're given the all clear.

"We're still working out what we want to do with cricket. The feeling was last year that a lot of our senior guys really enjoyed being able to play in the college in the morning then having the opportunity to play locally in the afternoon."

Wilkinson said winter teams still hold out for their local competitions to resume.

"We've still got around 15 teams in the local football competition and they have to be ready to go potentially for Sunday, if restrictions are lifted, and that's problematic for us with boarders because they aren't back," Wilkinson said.

"That seems unlikely at this stage but there's still the potential for that to happen."

Wilkinson also mentioned that the range of great Bathurst sporting facilities has helped the school create more opportunities for students to participate when the Sydney lockdown began.

Saint Stanislaus' College's head of sport David Burke said the school is also going week-by-week to determine their plans for the season to come.

"Community sport we'll be able to get on board with when things open back up but in terms of ISA we're probably looking at doing the same thing that we did this year, which is having just a term one comp," he said.

"In term four last year we entered Friday night basketball and played against Kinross on a Saturday, and that rolled into a one-round competition for cricket and basketball. Tennis ran as it normally did, since it was our usual draw against Kinross and Scots All Saints and we were in a Western bubble.

"It will probably be a similar deal this year. There were be anything planned for ISA in term four. We'll still enter local touch on the Monday night. We'll have teams in BDJCA cricket and our first XI will still play in the Monday night T20 competition."

Burke is hoping the school gets a bit more luck coming their way this summer when compared to winter.

"In winter we only ended up having around seven games, with only two ISA fixtures and no home games. We played away the whole of term two before things went pear shaped," he said.
