Partnership with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club

In May, it was announced that Trinity Grammar School, Kew will become a Global Football Development Partner of Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

The multi-year coaching partnership, a first for Victoria, will focus on soccer development, strategies and understanding of the game. From 2025, a Tottenham Hotspur Global Football Development Coach will deliver an annual 12-week coaching program to Trinity students and partner organisations.

The launch coincided with a visit from the team, who were in Melbourne for their match v Newcastle United at the MCG.

Trinity students Axel Fedele (Year 5) and Ben Dieudonne (Year 5) had the opportunity to walk out onto the field with Tottenham players before the game.

“Soccer has been a big part of my family for as long as I can remember,” Axel said.

“Ever since I could understand, I had a soccer ball at my feet, and I would sit and watch all leagues. My nonno and dad both played and coached soccer, and their passion for the game deeply influenced me. My dad, who coached me for seven years, has been a significant contributor to my love for soccer. Being half Italian and half Turkish, soccer is a national sport for both sides of my heritage, which further fueled my passion.”

“The THFC launch week was an unforgettable experience. Attending the match, training with elite coaches, and participating in the clinics were all incredible opportunities that deepened my love for the sport.”

“Walking out on the field with Pedro Porro was surreal and a moment I will cherish forever.”

At the end of July, the AGSV Soccer season culminated with a 6-1 premiership win for the Trinity Firsts squad against Mentone Grammar School.
