The Hills Way

The Hills Way has been created to deliver clear guidance, consistent support, and a shared identity for football development in the Hills District. This comprehensive approach aims to inspire and elevate players, coaches, and clubs within our community.

By establishing a unified Football identity and a singular approach, The Hills Way defines our Game Model, Player Development Objectives, and the distinctive characteristics that represent the Hills District. Together, these elements enable our pathway and association to lead the way in player development across New South Wales, setting a new standard for growth and excellence.

Training Programs

Principles and teachings of The Hills Way aim to be transcended through all HFI Member Clubs. As such, Hills Football Development has created TRAINING PROGRAMS. Training programs are specific to the breakdown of age groups and align with the Football Australia Curriculum.

The Training Programs aim to become a valuable resource that uplifts Football within the Hills Community with engaging Session Plans linked to The Hills Way.
