Soccer - boys
Andy Hackett, head coach
Trinity’s boys soccer team has a long history of success. The team has placed in the top four at State for the past five consecutive years. Additionally, the team has been the Regional champion or runner-up in 23 of the past 24 years.
Andy Hackett joined the coaching staff at Trinity in 2023. He began by coaching the girls team and was named All-Metro coach of the year. He led the girls team to 2nd place at State that year. In 2024, he was named the boys coach as well.
Hackett has an extensive background in soccer. He played semi-professionally for the Armed Forces Europe soccer team when stationed in Europe, played for the All-Air Force team, and played at South Puget Sound Community College in Washington.
Hackett’s coaching experience includes serving as the assistant boys varsity soccer coach and head JV coach at Wichita Southeast. Prior to moving to Wichita, he was the head coach for both the boys and girls varsity teams at Lakeside High School in the town of Nine Mile Falls, Washington.
Hackett’s coaching philosophy has everything to do with attitude and effort.
“I like the idea of the little guy beating the bigger guys. Just having a winning season doesn’t show anything really. Just steamrolling teams doesn’t show anything really. I do like playing better teams. It’s not about the loss. It’s about what you learn from it,” he said.
