The Hills Knights Football Club is a community-based not-for-profit sports club that has been operating in the Hills Shire for nearly 50 years. Established by parents of the nearby St Michaels Primary School, the club has grown to become one of the largest in the Hills Football Association, with around 1100 registered players. The club’s strong focus on community and family values is evident in its commitment to providing a positive playing environment for all ages and abilities through participation, enjoyment, and fairness.
Hills Knights FC plays in the Hills Football Inc (HFI) competition and offers teams for both girls/ladies and boys/men from under 5 to over 45.

As a volunteer organization, Hills Knights Football Club relies on the support of its players and parents to function effectively.
