Box Hill Hawks and United FC Build Community Through Local Sport

The Box Hill Hawks opened the 2025 campaign with a 4-0 start and sat third on the VFL ladder after four wins, preparing to defend that record against Richmond in Round 8 at Franklin’s Kinetic Stadium. This early performance reflects the ongoing work at the club’s base of Box Hill City Oval.

Club History and Local Base

The Box Hill Hawks operate as a Victorian Football League club based at Box Hill City Oval. They maintain an affiliation with the Hawthorn Hawks that has now reached its 30th season. The club’s presence at the oval provides a fixed local point for training and matches that draws regular community involvement.

2025 Season Record and Coaching

Across the full 2025 VFL season the Hawks played 18 games, recorded 14 wins and 4 losses, and finished second on the ladder. They then entered a Qualifying Final against Southport with a home Preliminary Final berth available. David Mirra serves as the current head coach, guiding the team through these results.

Soccer Club Contribution

Box Hill United FC operates as the local soccer club with its women’s team competing in NPL Victoria Women. That side finished ninth in the 2024 VPL Men’s season yet posted 9 wins in its last 10 matches, illustrating consistent recent form within the same suburb.

These outcomes at Box Hill City Oval and through Box Hill United FC trace back to regular local participation rather than external factors. The clubs continue to field teams and maintain fixtures that keep residents engaged with organised sport in the area.

Supporters can follow upcoming matches through the clubs’ regular channels and attend games at the established venues to see the teams in action.
