Having had the end of the winter seasons cancelled due to the NSW Lockdown in mid-August, owner Rocky Marando is keen to get players back out on court.
"Things are looking good, and we are very excited to get open again," he said.
"Team numbers are building at a decent rate, and we are looking forward to having a decent competition."
Marando feels that on current projections, the junior competitions will be similar numbers to recent seasons.
"Everyone is keen to play because they missed the end of their outdoor season," he said.
"Everything looks pretty much in line with how it has been the last few years. I think everyone is just keen to get into some community sport and get out of the house, especially the kids.
"We don't talk about them enough, they have been doing it tough at home without being able to go to school at the end of last term, and I think this will be good for them to get out socialising and having a bit of fun."
At the moment, the junior Futsal season will start on October 30, while the seniors will start on November 1, with registrations closing on Monday, October 25.

For Netball, the juniors will get underway on October 31, while the seniors will start on October 28, with registrations closing on Sunday, October 24.
Marando has encouraged interested teams to get in quickly because spaces will be limited, and to help with COVID restrictions has asked for parents to try and limit the number of spectators on game day.
