Soccer
Our Club was formed officially in 1956 and was known as Sylvania Heights Sports Club. It grew from a group of people who had been playing cricket together for several years in the area.
Netball
The club was first formed in 1960 and has proudly been affiliated with the Sylvania Heights Community Youth Club since that time. We encourage a family friendly environment and promote the values of teamwork, respect, integrity, reward through effort and fair play.

Club Statement
Sylvania Heights Community & Youth Club (SHCYC) t/as Sylvania Heights FC
To our football players, parents and families,
This is not a message we ever wanted to write.
For more than 70 years, Sylvania Heights has been a place where kids learned the game of football, made lifelong friends, and pulled on the “Trees” shirt with pride. That history belongs to every family who has ever been part of it, including yours.
Regrettably, on 2 June, the Sutherland Shire Football Association decided that players registered with Sylvania Heights FC would be moved to a newly formed club, removing you from representing Sylvania Heights FC. We understand how confusing and unsettling this is. Many of you signed up with Sylvania Heights expecting the season you’ve always known, with the people and the badge you’ve always known, and that is not how things have turned out.
We want to be clear and transparent with you: this was not the outcome we worked for, and we are also upset by decisions made and how it came about. We had hoped the people involved would put players and families first. We don’t believe that happened, and we’re sad for what it has cost this community and its long standing history.
But our focus now is on what we can do to support current players and families who can no longer play for Sylvania Heights FC in the local competition.
As you are no longer part of the Sylvania Heights family, the Sylvania Heights Community & Youth Club Management Committee has decided to refund your remaining fees for 2026.
You can find out how to claim your refund here:
We ask that all refund applications be lodged by 1 July 2026.
All questions about the remainder of the 2026 season and beyond should be directed to the duly elected committee of the new entity, Sylvania FC, as they are the people responsible.
Please understand that the decisions taken by representatives of Sylvania FC and the Sutherland Shire Football Association have created this outcome.
To every family who has been part of Sylvania Heights, thank you. Thank you for your patience, your loyalty, and your love of this game. Whatever shirt your child wears next season, you will always be part of the Sylvania Heights story.
Whilst Sylvania Heights FC has been blocked for playing in the Sutherland Shire Football Association’s competition, we will be exploring what other opportunities we can provide to the local community.
With warmth and gratitude,
Management Committee of Sylvania Heights Community & Youth Club – Sylvania Heights FC
