Tim Shand - President Two Blues Juniors
Tim’s greatest sporting love is Rugby Union, closely followed by playing Cricket, of which he played 22 consecutive seasons, usually carrying some kind of Rugby related injury into most seasons.
His greatest love began as a ball boy for the great Subbies club Hornsby Rugby at the age of 8, he finally got his wish to actually play Rugby for Normanhurst Boys High School in year 7. Tim’s passion now is for developing Junior Rugby within the district and beyond. Through Tim’s leadership, communication, and good interpersonal skills he is able to foster a great connection with today’s youth to build the future generation of Two Blues Rugby. Tim believes and creates a Rugby Family that provides a strong sense of belonging to all in the community.
Tim started coaching at his local club, Hills Rugby in 2012 when his eldest son Harrison started playing at age 5. Since then, Tim has gained his Level 2 coaching qualifications, and been an integral active part in the development of the Hills Rugby Club & Two Blues Juniors. Tim continues to coach, mentor and inspire his teams’ ambitions and goals. He wants to continue the winning success achieved at the Junior State Championship Level.
Outside of rugby, Tim is a qualified professional licensed builder with over 20 years’ experience working in the Residential Industry, specialising in high end new homes and all types of renovations with a majority focus within the Hills District and surrounds which adds convenience to get to training in the late afternoons. Tim fits Rugby into his busy life with wife Danielle who works in the Medical Technology sector. They have two sons Harrison and Cooper who both have the same passion and love for their Rugby.
When the family isn’t at work, school or footy, you may find the Shand’s deep in the bush, camping and exploring the great outdoors, or on a river or dam somewhere teaching friends how to water ski, learn some bush skills and simply having some fun in the scrub.
