Hills Pumas Football Club is a community-based sports club located in The Hills Shire Council in Sydney's Hills District. The club was established in 1999 by a group of year 9 students from Pacific Hills Christian School. Since its inception, the club has experienced remarkable growth and now consists of multiple teams ranging from Under 6s to Under 11s. These teams compete in the local Hills Football competition, which takes place on Saturday mornings between April and August.
The club's success has led to the establishment of its local home ground at Les Shore Oval in Glenorie. This location allows the club to welcome and accommodate a broader community of players and families from all over the Hills District. Hills Pumas FC aims to provide a safe and organised environment for team sports, while also fostering strong personal and sporting values for every player, parent, and club member.
The club follows an evidence-based approach to grassroots development, with a focus on enriching the experience of each player. By promoting a love for the game of football and ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment, Hills Pumas FC aims to create a supportive learning journey for each player and their parents. The club's training programmes prioritise the development of U6-12 year old boys and girls in preparation for youth football (U13-18s). The training methodologies revolve around the basic principles of play, including first touch and control, movement/orientation, and positioning.
Hills Pumas FC is built on five key pillars: Leadership, Development, Community, Competition, and Values. The club strives to lead the way in all aspects of its operation, constantly seeking opportunities for development both as a club and as individuals. The community forms the core of the club's identity, and Hills Pumas FC is committed to representing and serving its community. The club is known for its fair and committed approach to competition and prides itself on its service-based treatment of others.
To further support its commitment to youth development, Hills Pumas FC provides a library of resources for coaches, parents, and anyone interested in understanding the principles behind the club's approach to youth football. This library is filled with research articles and other helpful materials that align with the club's training methodology.
