Our Story

Moorebank Sports Club (Sporties) was founded on 18 February 1970 with a simple purpose, to foster junior sport in the growing Moorebank, Holsworthy, and Hammondville communities. What began as a small group of passionate locals with Mr Douglas, Mr Hardaker, and Mr Logan founding, quickly became a thriving community movement.

When the founding members first held a registration day, they expected just a few teams. Instead, they were overwhelmed with enthusiasm, registering 11 soccer teams and 5 netball teams in the very first year. By the end of 1970, Moorebank Sports Club had proudly sponsored 16 teams and finished the season with a modest $200 in the bank, but a wealth of community spirit and determination.

That spirit of dedication and volunteerism continued to shape the Club’s growth. In 1975, the Club secured Hammondville Park as its home grounds, and by 1981, Moorebank Sports Club was officially incorporated. The dream of a licensed venue became reality in 1994, when the Club opened its doors at 230 Heathcote Road, Hammondville, marking a major milestone for the community.

Over the years, Sporties has evolved into a multi-purpose hospitality and entertainment venue, offering something for everyone, from great food and drinks to family-friendly fun and live entertainment. Today, the Club features four bars, a 200-seat brasserie with alfresco dining, TAB and Keno, a bottleshop, lounge areas, a children’s playroom, and outdoor entertainment spaces. It’s truly the hub of the community, where families, friends, and locals come together to relax and connect.

In 2024, Sporties underwent a $6 million renovation, revitalising hospitality spaces, enhancing the indoor–outdoor flow, and refreshing the Club’s look in honour of its military heritage. In 2025, the Club expanded further, acquiring 17,000 m² of land at Hammondville Park, paving the way for improved parking, new family facilities, and future community amenities.

While the Club’s offerings have grown, our mission remains the same, to deliver quality service, foster community spirit, and support local sport. Sporties continues to sponsor and promote a range of sporting codes including rugby league, netball, cricket, baseball, and soccer, helping nurture the next generation of athletes and community leaders.

In a competitive hospitality landscape, Moorebank Sports Club stands out by staying true to its roots with community first, hospitality always. With an ongoing commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and connection, Sporties proudly remains the cornerstone of the Moorebank community.
