Koroit's youth policy is paying dividends and could cause opposition headaches for decades to come.

The Saints had just one player over 20 - 23-year-old Nell Mitchell - on court in the final quarter against Terang Mortlake the Saturday before last.

Matilda Sewell, Molly McLaren, Molly McKinnon, Mia Mills, Belle Baker and Millie Jennings - all still teenagers - more than held their own in a 16-goal to 12 quarter triumph.

Layla Monk, Meg Carlin, Gretta Gleeson and Scarlett O'Donnell are also youngsters who have spent time learning from the Saints' best.

Mills, who doubles netball with basketball for Warrnambool Mermaids, said Koroit wasn't coining the term rebuild despite blooding youth to its open side.

"We don't really want to look at it as a rebuild. We just want to keep developing the players so eventually it will all gel and come together," she said.

"We always striving to win. We just want to win games and be competitive.

"Eventually hopefully finals at the end of the year is how it'll end."

Koroit is currently fourth on percentage but level on points with fifth-placed North Warrnambool Eagles and sixth-placed Camperdown.

The Saints were scheduled to play minor premier Cobden this past Saturday before Victoria was plunged into its sixth coronavirus-enforced lockdown.

Jennings, who crossed to Victoria Park from Portland, said she'd improved aspects of her game playing in open.

"It's probably what the coaches have done defensively with me," she said.

"They've just been coaching me lots and lots in that area to keep improving."

Mills said Koroit's coaches were "invested" in their players.

"That's a massive part of it. Each week at training they're pushing us - they're not just sitting back because we're young," she said.

"They're really trying to get the best out of us.

"We're constantly reminded finals at the end of the year is our goal so we're pushing each other hard as players to get there and achieve that as a team."
