Christian Brothers College and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club Forge Innovative Partnership

Christian Brothers College (CBC), a co-educational ELC and Reception – Year 12 all-boys Catholic College in the heart of Adelaide, South Australia, is proud to announce our partnership with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, one of the most renowned football clubs in the world.

This partnership aims to provide CBC students with a unique opportunity to foster academic and soccer excellence, under the guidance of expert coaches from Tottenham Hotspur.

Embedded into the 2024 Curriculum at CBC, students will engage in a comprehensive soccer program based on the Tottenham Hotspur coaching philosophy. The program is designed to develop a deeper understanding of the rules, strategies, and tactics through a practical and theoretical setting.

“Our boys will get 12 weeks of specialised training by a Tottenham Hotspur coach as part of our elite soccer program starting next year – we are the only College in South Australia to have this partnership.

“We also have the opportunity to bring a select group of students over to Tottenham Hotspur in England as part of this innovative partnership,” says David Johnston, Principal, Christian Brothers College.

Tottenham Hotspur will be working closely with CBC to develop a higher level of excellence and skills in soccer while creating additional pathways for students on a national and international level.

Chris Acaster, Head of Global Coaching, Tottenham Hotspur, said:

“We are incredibly excited to announce our partnership with Christian Brothers College. Following our recent trip to Perth for our pre-season tour, we saw firsthand the incredible talent that is in Australia, and we look forward to working with Christian Brothers College to help support their development of players and coaches over the next three years.”

With this partnership, CBC aims to unleash new opportunities and inspire the next generation of leaders, both on and off the field.
