Van de Camp family part of three 2021 South Warrnambool grand finals

Proud parents Alison and Ben will watch daughter Hannah, 14, play for South Warrnambool's 15 and under reserves netball team.

That will be in between their own coaching commitments.

Alison teaches the Roosters' 13 and under netball side while Ben mentors the under 16 footballers.

Their grand finals will bookend Hannah's.

The three teams advanced to the Hampden league junior grand finals - to be played at Port Fairy's Gardens Oval on Sunday - after winning their semi-finals.

"Last Sunday at Terang Alison's team went first and they won, then Hannah's team played and they won and then it was 'don't you be the first to lose'," Ben said.

"The pressure was on."

"You could tell you were stressed," Hannah said cheekily.

Alison knows all three sides will face challenging opposition in the deciders.

"Winning is not everything but we hope we're not too cranky with each other," she laughed.

The proud parents hope Hannah, who also plays for Warrnambool and District league club Old Collegians on Saturdays, embraces the occasion.

"I think it will be lovely to see everyone shine but obviously we love watching Han so that is probably our main focus," Alison said.

"Hopefully she has lots of success but it doesn't matter if she doesn't, she's had a good season."

Alison, a nurse at Southwest Healthcare with a focus on mental health, and Ben, the principal at St John's Primary School in Dennington, know the importance of social outlets for young people.

They said the COVID-19 pandemic, which had impacted sport for 18 months, had highlighted the importance of community and recreation.

"We can see, in both our lines of work, the struggles people are going through at the moment," Alison said.

"Sport also gives adults joy too and I think that is what sport does (it brings people together)."

Ben echoed his wife's sentiments.

"Sport provides a connection and that's why we're passionate about being involved from a coaching point of view," he said.

"If we can assist the club to provide a connection that Hannah benefits from then we'll do that."

Hannah, a goal attack, loves having her parents involved with the club.

She often spends extra time at Friendly Societies' Park working on her skills.

"I get the inside scoop on things and they help me a lot," she said.

As for who she's more like?

"A bit of both but probably mum because she played netball and I don't play footy," she said.

Alison said her 13 and under reserves side had been a pleasure to coach.

It will play Koroit at 11am.

"I am blessed with some talented girls and some tall girls. I think it will be even Stevens," she said.

"Seeing them develop from nine and 10, they get their first goal, it's just the bees knees, it's lovely to watch."

Hannah's 15 and under reserves team will face Cobden at 12pm.

"We've grown so much as a team. I think we can beat them," she said.

Ben's under 16 football side tackles Hamilton Kangaroos at 2pm.

"We have played Hamilton once and they beat us by three points at South. I think we're in for a hard game," he said.

"They have some really skilled footballers and they move the ball really well.

"In saying that so do we. I think it will be a really even contest that goes down to the wire."

The one game without a van de Camp presence - the 14 football grand final between South Warrnambool and Koroit - is at 12.15pm.
