In October 2016, Hills Heat Softball was established by the Hills Softball Association, to create further playing opportunities for local Hills based players, enabling them to play at a elite level in the Adelaide Premier League Softball Competition. Starting out with just a stand-alone B grade team in 2016, the upcoming softball season will see Hills Heat field teams in 5 grades - A Grade, B Grade who are current reigning back to back premiers, C Grade, Under 18 and Under 16.
