To all our members, players, coaches, sponsors, supporters and treasured volunteers
Welcome to Season 2024
From its humble origins on the Adelaide Plains in 1963, the Flagstaff Hill Football Club has evolved into a highly respected powerhouse in the Southern Districts, on and off the field. Our culture is based on inclusion, respect, development and community support. Every club member and supporter is embraced as a highly valued member of our ‘Flaggy Family’.
An amazing amount of work has already been done in preparation for the upcoming season, including the appointment of club legend and current A Grade player Samuel Tharaldsen as our A Grade Men’s coach. And it is equally exciting to have reigning premiership coach Graham Tomkins returning to lead our B Grade Men in their quest for a second consecutive flag. Whilst Michael Hegarty returns to lead our Women’s A Grade team. We have also undertaken a strategic and targeted player recruitment campaign, and look forward to welcoming new and old players to the club for the 2024 season.
In the last decade, our club has achieved great success on and off the field, culminating in seven A Grade Men’s premierships and three consecutive A Grade Women’s flags. Not to mention the Southern Football League Champion Club of the Year on four occasions. Our junior development program continues to be our greatest strength, from Auskick, to sub- juniors and right through to our under 17.5 boys and U17 girls. Not only have we enjoyed enormous success on the field, we have also witnessed the consistent rise of these kids as the future senior football stars of not just the SFL, but the SANFL, SANFLW and AFL.
There are exciting times ahead. We hope you can join us to help the Falcons Soar higher in Season 2024.
