The Hampden league's junior deciders, scheduled for Sunday, were postponed on Friday night after the state government tightened COVID-19 restrictions throughout regional Victoria.

It's expected the league will release a plan in the coming days. The state is currently under lockdown under September 2.

Harris said the wider football and netball community needed to be "creative and innovative" to ensure the junior season had a swansong.

The Roosters had four junior teams - under 16 and under 14 football and 15 and under and 13 and under reserves netball - in the hunt for grand final success on Sunday.

"Within our club, everyone was obviously very, very disappointed that grand finals couldn't go ahead on the back of (Saturday's) announcements," he said.

"But we have a steely resolve to somehow make sure that it does go ahead in some form and we get a resolution to the season after such a disappointing two-year period really. "It's a little bit different from the seniors to the juniors in that there's only one game to go. I think we need to be innovative and creative in how we do it and manage it."

Harris said a Wednesday night under lights when the south-west was lockdown-free could be a solution for junior grand finals.

He said the 2021 campaign - albeit interrupted through lockdowns - had reinforced the value of junior sport.

"Junior sport in general is incredibly important to young people," Harris said.

"It's an outlet and mateship which is always probably something we've been aware of in team sport.

"But in the past two years in particular we've been acutely aware of how critically important it is to try to pursue it. "It's about participation and again we had so many excited kids. That would've been the same for Koroit, Hamilton Harris said the club's junior female and women's sides were also disappointing but determined to bounce back.

South Warrnambool's senior football and open netball bid for a Hampden league premiership is also on ice.

The senior competition was stopped before round 13 - the final round of the home-and-away campaign - could commence.

The Roosters' senior and reserves football and open, division two and three netball sides have qualified for finals.
