Coach Quinn started playing soccer at just five years old and has loved the game ever since. Originally from New Zealand, he has played competitively for over 15 years and brings with him a lifelong passion for the sport.

Before moving to Australia, Quinn coached the Whanganui Athletic Academy U10s for three years, ran a community football program, and helped lead a “Tiny Tots” introduction to soccer for ages 2–5. He has now been coaching with Grasshopper Soccer for two terms. With his background in both coaching and financial planning, Quinn has developed strong communication skills and a natural ability to connect with kids and parents alike.

After suffering a couple of ACL injuries, coaching became Quinn’s way to stay close to the sport he loves while inspiring the next generation of players. He enjoys watching kids grow in confidence and have fun on the field, reminding him of his own early soccer days. Outside of coaching, Quinn works full-time in financial planning at Evolve Wealth Management, and in his spare time, he enjoys playing golf, spending time at the sauna, and staying active.

Coach Bryce started playing soccer at six years old with Grasshopper Soccer Morley – the very place where his love for the game began.

This is Bryce’s first job, and he’s currently in Year 9 at Morley Senior High School. In the future, he hopes to study engineering at university.
