Colts Registrations
For players 17 years and older (after Year 12)
After a successful first year, 2026 marks another exciting milestone for Hammond Park as our Colts team returns for its second season.
Building on the momentum of our inaugural year, we continue to grow both on and off the field, strengthening the pathway for players beyond junior football at Hammond Park FC. With our Colts team now well-established, we’re also actively progressing plans to introduce Senior Men’s and Women’s teams in the near future.
This next chapter is a testament to the dedication of our players, volunteers, supporters, and the wider community. We encourage everyone to stay involved and help continue shaping HPFC into a leading destination club—one that remains committed to a strong family and community culture while developing players at every age and skill level.
