Ryan Sheers
Ryan Sheers is our dedicated Grounds Person Lead who’s been part of the AFL/Cricket Sports Park team for just over a year. With a lifelong passion for sport, Ryan found his calling not on the scoreboard, but behind the scenes, making sure our fields are always in top condition for play.
Growing up surrounded by sport, Ryan’s interest in turf management came naturally. “I probably wasn’t good enough to make it big,” he jokes, “so I figured why not prepare the fields for those who do?”
In his role, Ryan works closely with his team leader to coordinate daily tasks for the ground staff, overseeing everything from field preparation to maintenance. His favourite part of the job? Being outdoors, rain or shine, and seeing the results of his team’s hard work come to life each week.
While the hot summer days can be a challenge, Ryan’s enthusiasm never fades.
Fun fact: he once wanted to be a mechanic, but these days, turf care has taken the wheel!
Outside of work, Ryan plays AFL for Parramatta, a club he’s proudly represented for five years.
Ryan’s dedication, teamwork, and passion for sport make him an essential part of the Sports Park crew.
