HISTORY

Our Club began in 1998 as the Philly Crows by our founder Chris Hasson (US) and consisted of 5 to 6 eager players meeting in the snow and slush down at the lakes in South Philly.

A couple of years back our mother team, the mighty Hawthorn Football Club (Hawks) of Aus, saw our successes and growth and asked us to be their sponsered club here in the US.

Since then our roster has grown to over 30 steady players with an Alumni that has reached over a hundred spread around the globe.

Our current line up consists of about 70% US, 30% Australian players.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Besides our growth and garnering the attention of a major AFL team the Philly Hawks have won a Division 3 Title. We have made the final in division 2 twice. and have represented Philadelphia since 2001 in the Nationals at Washington DC, Kansas City, Milwaukee, and Las Vegas.

Members of our squad have represented the US playing for The Revolution. One member won a scholarship to attend college and play for a minor league club in Australia.

Our Team was even invited to play a mini game during the 7th inning stretch of a Phillies game at the old Vet !
