We are excited to welcome Tim van Ness as our new soccer coach for the 2012/2013 Boys Club Team. As the Head Coach for Boys Soccer at Eastmark High School in Mesa, AZ, Tim brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to Paladin. In addition to coaching, Tim is a certified referee, contributing to his ability to teach and lead with fairness, precision and respect for the game. As a former player in the Celtix du Haut Richelieu program in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada, Tim draws on his personal experience to inspire and guide players in their development.
Beyond the field, Tim is also a proud soccer dad, actively supporting and encouraging his son in his soccer goals. This personal connection to the game fuels his dedication to creating a positive environment where all players can thrive, believing that players perform at their best when they are having fun.
Tim moved to Arizona in 2023 for his job in the semiconductor industry, bringing his wife (Amanda), daughters (Ella and Amita), son (Derek) and dog (Barzal) on this exciting adventure.
