Jets players, like all those in the A-League, have been training in isolation since the season was postponed on March 24.
Although an official start date is yet to be locked in, A-League clubs have been flagged to resume training in July, with the competition to restart in August.
The resumption plan was confirmed after Foxtel finalised their $12 million quarterly broadcast rights installment last week.
"It is is good to know that Foxtel have fulfilled their commitment to pay FFA," Boogaard said. "We are still waiting to see how much of that is passed on to the clubs and the players.
"In terms of time frames, I know it has been tabled that we go back to training at the start of July and play games in August but the playing group would like to get back earlier, and as soon as possible, to prepare properly for what is likely to be a very chaotic month."
The Jets have games remaining against Wellington, Central Coast, Sydney and Western United. Some clubs have six games to play, which will be condensed to a three-to-four week period.
The Jets have been following individual programs for six weeks.
"Our opinion is that as soon as we can get into competitive training, the more it will reduce the risks," Boogaard said.
"Injury prevention is obviously a big thing, but the quality of the product is important as well. We don't want to restart the league and the product is a long way off what it was when we finished.
"The bare minimum would be a month. To get the league back to the standard it was and allow the players to get back to peak fitness, I can't see that being sufficient enough time ... ideally, we would love to be reinstated tomorrow and get back to training."
Boogaard is on the executive of the Professional Footballers Australia players union and has been part of a committee working with FFA on a plan to complete the season.
"The players have been very involved," Boogaard said. "There have been group talks with [Head Of A-League] Greg O'Rourke and [FFA boss] James Johnson.
"It is good that the FFA are willing to open up and answer the players' questions and let us get an understanding of where things are from their point of view.
"As bad as it [COVID-19] has been for everyone, it has united all the stakeholders and we are starting to work together to come up with better solutions for the future. I applaud what FFA are doing in opening that avenue for discussion. That is how the game is going to grow. Not to say that the players deserve the right to make policy, but it's important that they understand our point of view when those decisions are being made."
Boogaard believed it was essential for teams to resume group training at the same time.
"It is about maintaining sporting integrity and making sure there is not too much disparity between when teams return to training, " he said. "If it's a week or two, that may be acceptable. You don't want a position where, say, Perth overtake Sydney to win the league because they were able to get back on the park earlier to train."
The Jets had won three of their last four to move to 24 points, three outside the top six when the season was halted. However, sixth-placed Western United have played two games less.
"The focus for us - not knowing if we would come back or not - was to finish on the right note," the Jets skipper said.
"To walk away from the Melbourne City win, knowing we are capable of beating someone who is supposed to challenge for the title. We are building towards bigger things this season and next year as well. There is still a sniff and we will keep pushing. The mentality at this club is that we go until the end."
