The Myponga-Sellicks Football Club is an Australian rules football club first formed on 25 March 1946 as the Myponga Football Club.[1] Myponga started in the Southern Football Association that season where it remained until the end of the 1966 season, when they transferred to the Great Southern Football League.[1][2][3]

In 2003, Myponga changed its name to the Myponga-Sellicks Football Club to expand its catchment area.[1]
