The First Minister has said organised children's sporting activities will be able to resume in time for the start of the Easter holidays if the public health situation continues to improve.
Mark Drakeford said that discussions were still ongoing, but he is hoping they will be able to resume from Saturday, March 27.
In an interview with WalesOnline, he said: "We continue to talk with the people who are responsible for that as to the extent of it but I am wanting to send a signal today to the people who do provide organised outdoor activities for children that they can begin to think about that and prepare for that.
"We will be talking to them about how that can be best delivered if circumstances continue to to improve. I want children in the school holidays to have things that they can do."
Golf courses and outdoor sports facilities, including outdoor gyms, basketball and tennis courts, in Wales will be able to re-open from Saturday, March 13.
Mr Drakeford made the formal announcement at his lunchtime Welsh Government press conference on Friday. You can follow live updates here.
Outdoor sports facilities can be used locally by up to four people from two households.
He told the briefing: "If the public health situation continues to improve, we will lift 'stay local' on March 27 and begin the process of opening up our tourism sector, starting with self-contained accommodation.
"Organised children’s outdoor activities will also restart in time for the Easter holidays and libraries will re-open."
When earlier asked why children cannot meet to play sport at the moment but adults will be able to play contact sport like basketball, Mr Drakeford said: "Our top priority is to get children back to school to face-to-face education.
"The advice that we have had from the very beginning is that the safest way to do that is in stages.
"Up to 40% of children are already back in school and as of Monday [March 15] there will be a big increase in that with all primary aged children and children in secondary school sitting examinations being back in the classroom.
"Doing it step-by-step does give us a bit of headroom to do other things.
"We are able to allow people who can, in their local area, from two households, use outdoor sporting facilities and that includes basketball courts but it's only four people and it's only from two households."
A decision on the re-opening of gyms is expected towards the end of April. You can read more on that here.
