Lisanne Templer
Lisanne has been part of Waikanae Football Club for many years, as club secretary, team manager of the Ladyhawks and a player. She helps create the welcoming, supportive culture that makes the women’s team special, making sure they have everything they need and encouraging teammates on and off the pitch. When the Ladyhawks faced a shortage of players, Lisanne helped arrange a collaboration with Western Suburbs so local women could continue playing.
The positive team environment has since helped bring back returning players and attract new ones. As secretary, Lisanne keeps club administration on track, supports meetings, records decisions and introduced a monthly newsletter to keep members informed. She also represents Waikanae on the Te Kotahitanga FC committee, contributing to the governance of coastal football.
A member of the original Ladyhawks team in 2017, Lisanne was one of the club’s first women to receive a 10-year senior membership shirt in 2026. She was also chosen for Waikanae’s inaugural Members’ Voice Award after receiving multiple nominations. Her loyalty, energy and care for the club are felt across the community.
