In 1969, Father Francis of Saint Michael's Church in Caboolture established a soccer club under the name St Michael's Soccer Club. The home ground of the club was located at Centenary Lakes fields with the club fielding approximately 35 teams within age brackets from under-7s to a senior men's team, competing within the Brisbane North Junior Soccer Association. Following the club's move to the Grant Road sporting complex, the club changed its name to  Caboolture Soccer Club, still competing with local teams. In 1996, Caboolture soccer club left the Brisbane North Junior Soccer Association to join the new Queensland Soccer's Sunshine Coast Football to better suit the club's location and in 1997, the club was renamed to Caboolture Sports Soccer Club, bringing together a partnership with five other sports to keep the club afloat financially. Following the spell with Sunshine Coast football, the club again left its zone to join another, becoming apart of Football Brisbane (today known as Football Metro) in 2016, fielding 51 teams across nearly all divisions, with the  senior team joining the Football Brisbane Capital League 4. In 2019, the club relocated to the Moreton Bay Central Sports Complex in Burpengary with a state of the art synthetic field. In the same year, the club recorded upwards of 70 teams across all age groups. In March 2020, Caboolture Sports closed in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic with Football Metro temporarily suspending all competitions. Caboolture Sports' application to join as one of the 8 teams of the inaugural season of the Football Queensland Premier League 2 was successful in 2020, with the first season starting in 2021. The league  would be the first third-tier state-wide football competition across Queensland. The club would go on to win the inaugural FQPL 2 premiership and place as runner-ups against Grange Thistle in the championship final after a 3-1 defeat at AJ Kelly park.
