About Hills Spirit Football Club
The Hills Spirit Football Club is an incorporated association registered as a community soccer club in the Hills District and is governed by an elected Executive Committee. The Hills Spirit Football Club has a proud 42 year tradition of building teams from the local Catholic Schools. The Club was originally created from OLOR Kellyville and was joined by St Angela’s Castle Hill, then Our Lady of the Angels Rouse Hill & now John XXIII Stanhope. The club has grown in size and now welcomes members from all over our local community.
In 2020 we moved from Memorial Ave to our brand new grounds in Arnold Ave, Kellyville. Our club has grown to over 500 players including over 80 funskills players, 8 AAM teams, a strong PYL team and an ever growing female contingent.
In 2022 we introduced our new strip and welcomed some new sponsors on board. We enjoyed a full season of competition.
In 2023 we celebrated our 45th year! We celebrated with a number of fun events and enjoyed a very successful season. We look forward to seeing what Season 2024 has in store!
