Coach Dominic Rice, originally from Sunderland, England, brings a lifetime of soccer experience and leadership to Immaculata High School. A former professional player with Sunderland AFC and Lincoln City FC, he carries the discipline, insight, and passion of elite-level competition into every aspect of his coaching.

Coach Rice has lived in the United States for 20 years and has accumulated more than two decades of coaching experience across multiple levels of the game. In addition to his role at Immaculata, he serves as the Teams Director for Steel United NJ, where he oversees player development and competitive programming for athletes throughout the club.

He has been the Immaculata Boys Varsity Head Coach since the 2009–2010 season, leading the Spartans through some of the most accomplished years in the program’s history. Under his guidance, Immaculata captured the Skyland–Mountain Division Conference Championship in 2018–2019, reached the NJSIAA Non-Public B Finals in 2017–2018, and advanced to the NJSIAA Non-Public B Semifinals in 2015–2016.

Coach Rice’s coaching philosophy is rooted in developing student-athletes who embody integrity, discipline, and a strong work ethic on and off the field. He strives to create a positive, competitive environment where players are encouraged to challenge themselves, learn from every experience, and grow as teammates and individuals.

What he enjoys most about being part of the Immaculata High School and Spartan community is the deep sense of pride, unity, and shared purpose that every member brings. He is inspired by the school’s commitment to tradition, teamwork, and personal growth and is honored to work with student-athletes who represent the Spartan spirit with heart, resilience, and commitment.
