Many netball players hope the season goes ahead, but some have sought refunds for registration fees.
Waratah Netball Club president Nicole Cadogan said a potential start date of July 18 for netball was "something to look forward to".
But she said the nature of the coronavirus meant uncertainty would continue.
"While it's heartening to know there could be a start date, it can also be disheartening because things are changing every day."
Mrs Cadogan said the prospect of registration refunds or discounts if the season was cancelled or shortened was "a touchy point with players and members at the moment".
"Some want refunds. We can't give them a refund because we don't know how much we can give," she said.
"Giving a full refund means the club itself could be out of pocket because we'd be giving money away that we're not getting back."
She said registration money could not be returned until netball's governing bodies decide how the money will be managed.
If refunds are given, Mrs Cadogan wonders whether Netball Australia and Netball NSW may withhold some of the money that had been passed on to them from the clubs.
"I fear our players will say 'Waratah is not giving us the refund, they're holding our money'. If we get approval, we'll give back as much as we can. We won't even take our portion that we normally take towards presentations."
She said Waratah does not have a lot of money.
"We're such a small club. We're sponsored by a local bowling club that are shut as well. We're not asking them for their sponsorship money this year," she said.
Netball NSW is modelling a worse case scenario of "no season and full refunds".
"We want to ensure that if it is ultimately required we do it once, we do it properly and we do it in a way which means we safeguard the entire netball ecosystem to the best of our ability.
"We know not everyone will agree with this position at present, but we believe that it remains the best current course of action for netball in NSW as a whole."
Netball NSW is in discussions with the NSW government about whether the $100 Active Kids Voucher could be "retained within the sport in which it was redeemed".
"In such a fast-moving environment, where government advice and restrictions could change at any time, we remain of the view that holding our position on registration refunds for the immediate term, and until greater clarity is available, is appropriate."
Netball NSW chief executive Carolyn Campbell said "we are hopeful we'll get a season of some description for community netball".
"Health is number one, we won't compromise that."
