Management of the club's jumpers and uniforms are also a part of Mrs McCallum's club duties.

She joined Natimuk United with her husband Gerry McCallum in 2004.

Mr and Mrs McCallum worked with the Horsham United Football Club before the Horsham-Natimuk United merger.

"I started playing netball in Natimuk. I married a Horsham guy and came to Horsham. When the club folded, it went full circle and I went back home to Natimuk United," she said.

"It's quite funny at times because I am working with kids whose parents I use to babysit."

Mrs McCallum played netball until 1989 and said she was paying her dues for what sports had offered her during her life.

"A lot of people expect payment and you don't need payment. You are long time out of sports and are only in it for short time," she said.

"You enjoy it as long as you can, but you need to give back to make it easier for others to come into sports."

Mrs McCallum said she volunteered for other sports such as softball and basketball.

"It's getting harder and harder to get volunteers because of the whole rules and regulations," she said.

She said she treated the players in the club as her own children.

"I will tell them once, I will tell them second time and third time I will be strict.. It's like mum telling you what to do. But on the whole, they are really good. We are really lucky to have them," she said.

Natimuk United Football Netball Club chairperson Adam Blake said Mr and Mrs McCallum joined the club as a result of the merger of Horsham and Natimuk United.

"They have contributed in bridging the gap in terms of the history of both the clubs," he said.
