Norwood, which uses the Paradise school as a training ground, had previously announced it wanted to help set up a football academy at the site.
But under the proposed shake-up of SANFL recruiting zones, the reigning premier could lose much of the northern hills to Sturt.
"We were still in the very early stages of the plan, but we will have to put those talks on hold until the Football Commission makes a decision," Redlegs chief executive Geoff Baynes told the Eastern Courier Messenger last week.

"But if the Hills aren't included in our zone, it's a very different scenario," he said.
