To all our members, players, coaches, sponsors, supporters and treasured volunteers:

Welcome to Season 2025

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 re appointment of club icon Sam Tharaldsen as our A Grade men’s coach. It is equally exciting to announce Mark Baker will be leading our A Grade Women’s group for the first time. And high-quality coaching appointments extend throughout all teams.

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, and multiple underage premierships. 

Our junior development program continues to be our greatest strength, from our innovative Tiny Tots program through to Auskick, sub-juniors and various junior age groups up to our U17.5 boys and U17 girls. Not only have we enjoyed enormous team success on the field, we have also witnessed the consistent rise of our home grown talent as the future senior stars of not just the SFL, but the SANFL, SANFLW and AFL.But none of the club’s growth and success could have been achieved without the generous assistance of our amazing Business Partners. 

It takes a lot of cash to run a community football club like ours. The support of our sponsors not only reduces the financial impact on our members and their families, it also helps us to consistently invest into the ongoing growth of our development programs. Please support them however, and whenever, you can

There are exciting times ahead. We hope you can join us to help the Falcons soar even higher in Season 2025.
