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 Evan started playing soccer at just five years old and grew up with the game by his side. He has played for a club every year since, building his skills, confidence, and love for the sport along the way.

Grasshopper Soccer has been a huge part of Evan’s journey, so much so that working here is now his very first job. He’s excited to give back by helping younger players learn the game in the same supportive and fun environment that shaped his own soccer story.

She brings that same sense of belonging, encouragement, and fun to every session with her young players.
