The quaint picturesque township of One Tree Hill has soccer fever with the local club seeing significant growth over the past 10 years.
One Tree Hill Soccer Club President, Jake Milka, said it success was driven by the people and beautiful location.
"I think it's the community feel and the people we have at the club," Jake said. "I think everyone always says it's the people, but it certainly is. And being that little bit away from suburbia it gives that different atmosphere and it feels a lot more like a community."
In a township of 2,700, the club attracts members from across the northern suburbs to the area.
The club has up to 350 participants, including players and a strong supporter base which it prides itself on.
Player numbers of about 150, about eight teams in 2020, continues to grow with more seniors joining the club.
"We have almost tripled in those seven to eight years, which has been fantastic," Jake said. "We have had three senior teams for the past two years for the first time in our history, so we have really been growing recently."
The seniors play in the South Australian Amateur Soccer League in division two or three and compete against a number of northern Adelaide clubs.
Juniors are generally brought through the club from the local primary school, however for Mitchell McDonald, 12, he travels to be part of his team.
"I like how nice everyone is, how good the coaches are, and how much you will improve here," Mitchell said. "I am just happy I can play with people I know and have communication with everyone, it's just fun to do that."
Mitchell's Under 13s team has jumped divisions after winning the last two seasons.
