History
The Adelaide Hills Soccer Club was formed in 1991 by the Adelaide Hills Junior Soccer Association when the club fielded one team in the U/16 age group. In 1995 the club entered teams in the U/19 and U/23 competitions and in 1998 entered a senior team into the South Australian Soccer Federation (SASF) State League finishing in the top half of the table.
In 2004 the club won promotion to the top league(then called the Premier League) and whilst it performed well, its age and inexperience meant the club was relegated at the end of the season. The experience was a valuable one with a number of younger ‘hawks’ remaining at the club and proceeding to play in the following season for the first team. In 2008 the Hawks won the Premier League and also the end of season final 5 Challenge Cup at Hindmarsh Stadium and subsequently was promoted to the Super League for the 2009 season. Despite the determination of the players, regrettably the senior team was relegated by a single goal in 2009.In 2012 the Club is likely to continue playing under the FFSA in the State League.
The Adelaide Hills Soccer Club also will have Junior Boys teams at under 11,12,13,14, 16, and 17 year groups and Junior Girls at Under 15 and 17 years in 2012.
As my term as President has now come to an end, I wish to thank all players, coaches and managers as well as all the volunteers who have contributed to the Hawks over the 4 year of my Presidency. And of course to extend my thanks to the Hawks Committee and Members and supporters,who make the Club what it is today.
The new Hawks President is Lee Davies and I hope he enjoys his time at the Hawks and has the support of you all as the Club continues to progress, as I am sure it well.
Best wishes
Ans Papini
