Club History

Chelsea Heights Football Club is based at Beazley Reserve, on Thames Promenade in Chelsea Heights. In recent times the 'Heighters' have grown and developed into a strong and competitive club within the SFL. From its origins in the SouthWest Gippsland Football Leauge, the club has progressed steadily through the ranks of the SFL from the 90's, recently having had its most successful era as a club between 2009 -2012, playing off in the Division 1 Grand Final in both Seniors and Reserves, winning the 2010 & 12 SFL 3rds competition in, and consolidating a Colts team that has improved every year.

2012 came to a heartbreaking conclusion in the Seniors losing by 5 points in a nailbiter with East Brighton - the ball deep in our forward line as the siren sounded. Brigther results for our Thirds team who battled against an unfavourable draw and forfeits throughout the year to a tough Premiership win, for the second time in 3 years.

The completion of new Social and Player facilities in 2008, for which the club made a significant financial contribution, has enabled Chelsea Heights to evolve rapidly as a family-based club with an open and welcoming culture based on sound values and respect. We promote a strong sense of social responsibility, having contributed to the Cancer Council's Call to Arms campaign, Jane McGrath Foundation, and our licensing responsibilities are administered with discipline.

Chelsea Heights has a relatively small, but stable and hard working administration, with a commitment to strong leadership and vision that balances long-term focus with day-to-day operations. We have a strong relationship with Council and co-tenants of Beazley Reserve.

Our coaching staff are trained, experienced and professional, with a focus on player development and maximising on-field potential. A typically low turnover in players from year to year, and continued growth of our playing list and membership is testament to the environment players are provided with at the club.
