The annual "summer comp" will kick off from Monday, October 19, at Olympic Park.

And, coordinator Paul Benkovic is confident of a strong season, despite a couple of changes.

"We'll have to introduce COVID-19 safety measures," he said.

"However, we will liaise with NSW Touch about that over the coming weeks.

"I'm hoping it's a real easy transition, following on from the recent winter sports like [junior] league and netball.

"The majority of parents will be aware they'll have to either sign-in or scan a QR code.

"Luckily, people are more educated about things like that at the moment.

"We'll also shorten the games; and space them out.

"It will give everyone an opportunity to leave [the ground] after the matches before the next ones start.

"If we instigate protocols like that, it'll decrease interaction on the night."

After enjoying a successful 2019-20, Benkovic believes there is no reason this season can't be as fruitful.

"It's difficult to predict at this stage," he said.

"But, as [COVID-19] restrictions ease, I expect our numbers to be good again.

"Sport in any community is the biggest social outlet.

"So, we'd like to see plenty of junior league kids, their mums and dads on board.

"And, we're keen to improve participation in the ladies' competition, too.

"We hosted 26 to 28 mixed teams last year - it would be great to achieve that figure once more."

Interested younger players won't miss out either, according to Benkovic.

"The association caters for age groups from under-6s to under-15/17s," he said.

"That's boys and girls.

"A new registration process is being implemented this season as well.

"We also accept the Active Kids voucher, which is handy for local families."

Benkovic remains optimistic representative touch will not be affected in the near future.

"From what I understand, most of the tournaments are going ahead in 2021," he said.

"So, we'll still ask for nominations for the junior rep sides, the Mambas.

"That will take place on Mondays, October 19 and 26."
