🌟 We Are So Proud of Our Alumni – Connor Metcalfe! 🌟

Following Connor Metcalfe's incredible achievement of scoring his first FIFA World Cup goal in his very first World Cup appearance against Türkiye, we wanted to let everyone know just how proud we are of everything he has accomplished. 🇦🇺⚽

Connor was part of the Maribyrnong Sports Academy during Years 8 and 9 and showed exceptional talent from an early age. One of his junior coaches was our current Head Football Coach, Adrian Mazzarella, who often speaks about Connor's dedication and willingness to always do that little bit extra to improve his game.

His journey from MSA student-athlete to Socceroo and World Cup goalscorer is an inspiration to all of our current and future students.

Here's to goal number two, Connor! 👏⚽💚💛

Applications close next Wednesday
The Maribyrnong Sports Academy has officially opened its Year 9 2027 application process.

MSA has an intake of 26 student-athletes for entry into Year 9. In previous years, only a very small number of places were available at this year level.
Selection is based not only on current performance, but also on demonstrated potential for development in high-performance sport, along with suitability for balancing sporting and academic commitments, effort, and behaviour. Athletes must have represented their sport at either State or National level.

Sandy Allen joined us last year as a Year 9 Hockey Student Athlete.
If you’re driven to excel both on the field and in the classroom, this is your opportunity to join one of Victoria’s leading sports academies.

🥋🏆 **Judo Nationals on the Gold Coast!** 🏆🥋

With Akos Kelly sidelined after surgery following a successful European campaign—where he achieved an outstanding 5th-place finish—the rest of the team was determined to show they could represent their club, state, and MSA at the highest level despite his absence.

🥇🥇 **Luis Maddalozzo** stepped up in spectacular fashion, winning **Gold** in both the **U18** and **U21** divisions. This was a remarkable achievement, requiring tremendous mental strength to move from being Akos' regular training partner and rival to claiming two National titles of his own.

🥈🥉 **Gabriel Talledo** continued the excellent progress he made in Europe, defeating opponents he had never beaten before. His efforts were rewarded with a **Silver Medal in the U18 division** and a **Bronze Medal in the U21 division** in a highly competitive weight class.

🥉 **George Garcia** also returned home with a **Bronze Medal**. Considering George dislocated his thumb just a few months ago and was in doubt for the Nationals until the last minute, this result is a fantastic achievement and a testament to his determination and resilience.

👏 A fantastic effort by all three athletes.

MSA Alumi: What a World Cup debut! 🇦🇺⚽️

In his very first game at his first-ever FIFA World Cup, Connor Metcalfe scored his first tournament goal to help Australia secure a massive 2-0 win over Turkiye! 🏆

🔥It was the absolute perfect start for our Socceroos, and Connor helped seal the deal and became the 11th Australian goal scorer in a World Cup. Well done, mate! 🙌 Here’s to goal number two! 🥂

While Jin and Sam made it through to the final of the French Open they went down 6-4, 6-3 in the Quad Doubles Final. An amazing effort by Jin to make his first Grand Slam final. Plenty more to come. Well done Jin
