The Hills Football Development Academy Program aims to break new ground in football development, by providing local community football players in the Hills district the opportunity to receive quality coaching and training opportunities, at an affordable price.

The Hills Community will see our association program as a centre of excellence in the delivery of the football experience. Our association-wide program will provide coaching and development opportunities for young players to learn the necessary skills required to take their football to the next level. For the player this may mean playing in a higher division, playing representative football. We are dedicated to helping our players football goals become reality!

Our attention of the program focus is for all players and skill levels, not solely around the elite space. We aim to provide players with a platform to show off their potential, and learn new skills and techniques in a fun, inclusive, and safe environment. This open opportunity for self-development will extend beyond just players to inspire our future generation of coaches.

Our Football coaching pathway aims to become the leading stage for coach education in the country. We look to motivate young passionate coaches, as well as provide our coaches with mentoring opportunities and resources from our technical department to ensure the program delivery is of quality with a player focus. This will ensure a positive learning experience for our players whilst building the coaching pool in the Hills along with increasing the retention of coaches and players apart of the Academy. 

This two-fold approach of the development program with both player and coach will continue to push Hills Football to the forefront of local Football in Australia. Underpinned by not only our commitment to excellence, but also more importantly, by our commitment to equal opportunity for all players.
