Our Executive would like to sincerely thank all General Committee members, parents, players, sponsors, supporters of our great club.as we aim to continue to build upon the solid foundations of those who have come before us to ensure that our traditions and values remain strong. There is a great spirit and family atmosphere being built at the club which serves a greater purpose than just the children playing football. Our community and social responsibility values and programs have seen us set the benchmark in Junior Football hence our AFL Gold status and we continue to foster terrific council and sponsor support partnering with our long term sponsors Bendigo Bank, Camp Australia, Tailor Made Freight Management, Ray White and LP Bodyworks.

Our club is administered by some committed and talented volunteers and it is important that this group is continually expanded upon year to year to keep the club moving forward and progressive. There are many opportunities at the club for volunteers to become involved and make a difference, so please do not hesitate to contact your team manager or one of our committee members if you would like to help out and join a great team. Without volunteers the club cannot run and our kids can’t play so if you are required on match day or otherwise please get involved.
Hope you enjoy the 2016 and beyond.
GO HILLS!
Jim Pahos
President (on behalf of the committee)
