Southern Highlands FC was founded to create exceptional development pathways for young football players in the Southern Highlands. As a not-for-profit club, every dollar is reinvested into enhancing the player experience—through expert coaching, quality equipment, tailored matchday and training kits, well-maintained facilities, and competition opportunities in the Junior Premier League Australia (JPL).

We emphasise development on and off the pitch—building confidence, resilience, teamwork, and a lifelong love of the game. Located at Frensham Sports Ground in Mittagong, we offer a family-centred, community-driven environment where ambitious young players can flourish.

Can my child play for Southern Highlands FC and simultaneously play for their current local or HFC team?

At SHFC, we fully support and encourage multi-club participation. We understand many players juggle commitments across clubs, and our schedule supports that - most JPL matches are held on Sundays, which helps families coordinate across different teams. However, other clubs may have their own policies on multi-club participation, so it's best to confirm directly with them.

Is there a registration fee? How much is it and what does it cover?

Yes. For players selected into SHFC’s JPL squads, a registration fee of approximately $800–$1000 per season applies. As a not-for-profit, all collected fees go directly back into the club - supporting coaching, gear, league registrations, and overall player experience and development.

We are actively pursuing sponsorship to help reduce these costs and make high-level football more accessible to all families.

When will the next JPL trials be held, and how can I register?
