Rostrevor College Soccer Program

Adelaide's Leading Soccer College

Rostrevor has a proud and successful soccer heritage that continues to develop and educate stars of the game. Our exceptional soccer facilities and coaches are the envy of many schools and are backed by a Year 7-12 soccer program which integrates with the College curriculum as well as with SACE in the senior Years. The program identifies and develops the sporting potential of young talent, while simultaneously fostering their leadership skills and values, giving them space to be 'men for others'.


About the Program

Rostrevor’s Soccer Program is one of the most comprehensive school soccer programs in South Australia. In 2022, the College introduced a dedicated Specialist Soccer stream as part of its Physical Education Curriculum to be overseen by the newly-appointed Coordinator of Soccer, Daniel Mullen.

Adding to the program is First XI Head Coach, Terry Frangakis, who has been integral to the ideas and philosophies incorporated through our co-curricular programs. Mr Frangakis' vast experience, which extends to managing more than 30 coaches and 250 players at Club level, will allow him to mentor coaches from the Junior Years through to Year 12 to help them deliver high quality sessions that nurture, improve and develop the players under their care. 

Rostrevor’s Specialist Soccer stream will be taught by academic staff member and former Adelaide United A-League player, Mr Daniel Mullen. Mr Mullen’s sporting accomplishments include 185 professional games, a distinguished 10-year career in the A-League, two FIFA Club World Cups and representing Australia in its U20, U23 and Socceroos sides. Further to his playing career, Mr Mullen also holds his AFC/FFA ‘A’ licence for coaching. His extensive knowledge and experience has helped design the new Specialist Soccer curriculum, focusing on a holistic approach to elite soccer.

Recently, Jason Spagnuolo (‘02), Bruce Kamau (‘12), Paul Izzo (‘12) and Marc Marino (‘13) have made their mark at A League level.

Rostrevor continues to cultivate emerging soccer stars who are already making their mark at the State and National Premier League level, including Luca Meggetto (‘21), Noah McNamara ('20), Daniel and Luke Frangakis ('20), Alessio Melisi ('20), Adam Leombruno ('21) and David Preka (‘22). These recent ex-scholars join the large number of Rossi students who have or are currently playing seniors at the highest level in South Australia.
