Why are we investing in Pathway Football?
I’M Possible | Right to Play | I Told you so
WHY, I’M Possible – HFI recognises the greatest natural resource within its community is its young people. HFI is committed to ensuring that all young people are encouraged to reach their potential through the power of self-belief by creating an understanding in themselves that anything is possible.
WHY, Right to Play – HFI exists to create unique environments that promote a pathway for every aspiring Footballer independent of ability, socio-economic, culture and status to reach their potential and build the best version of themselves, through a foundation in life skills, education and football centric programs.
WHY, I Told You So – HFI believes that, given the belief, opportunity and framework, the young people within our community can exceed the potential currently seen within them. They will gain the capacity to claim a better future for themselves, their families, their communities and their country with the potential to become role models for future generations.
“Membership to the community family does not depend on the ability but rather the devotion and camaraderie, reinforced by the shared respect of the most beautiful, and basic, game…Community people, will do anything, anytime for other community people.
That is a community at work.”
Johnny Warren

One of HFI’s underlying principles is that we use Football as the vessel for Life Skills.
It has been proven and shown throughout history that Footballers like most “successful” individuals are made outside their chosen profession. We have a charter and a responsibility to help create good humans first and foremost, help educate our players in life, in academia and in football.
The WHY is be able to create a player centric model, the WHY is to build an eco-system that is high performing across all the above mentioned elements, the WHY is to leave an ever lasting legacy that when HFI was given this opportunity we acted with courage, we acted in the best interest of the players and community, we resisted all the temptations and continued to invest in the charter.
The WHY is to offer alternatives to our community that has nothing to do with commercial profiteering from the players, however to meet the Players and Parents half way and deliver the most comprehensive program in Australian Football.
We look forward to discussing this exciting program with you all on either the 15th or 16th October.
