Built from the inside out.

Serve & Receive was not built from a whiteboard. It was built from decades inside the sport, watching what thrives when the environment is right and what erodes when it is not.

Our Founder

Reid Priddy's introduction to volleyball came through a school PE class. What followed was a Division I college career, more than two decades as a professional player competing in the United States and abroad, four Olympic Games, a gold (‘08) and bronze (‘16) medal representing the United States, and a transition to the beach game that culminated in silver medal on the FIVB World Tour and an AVP Manhattan Beach Open title in 2019.

That journey offered a full view of the sport at every level. And it produced a clear conviction: opportunity, environment, and community shape outcomes long before talent or ambition ever get the chance.

Serve & Receive is what Reid chose to do with that conviction.

The Team

INDOOR is a U15 boys volleyball team made up of young athletes from across Orange County. They train and compete at a high level, including national level events and international competition. Performance matters. But it is not the mission.

The team is a living example of the environment Serve & Receive is working to build. One where standards are high, development is intentional, and character is treated as inseparable from results. We are developing young men who happen to play volleyball, not just volleyball players.

The families behind the team are equally invested. Many have played volleyball or other sports at a high level themselves. They know firsthand what sport can provide, discipline, confidence, belonging, opportunity, and share a commitment to widening access to those benefits for more kids.

The Community

Serve & Receive is more than a team. It is a growing group of athletes, families, educators, coaches, and supporters who share a common belief: that youth sports can be more human, more accessible, and more connected to what actually matters in a young person's life.

The work moves forward through clinics, school outreach, coach development, and a genuine commitment to bringing volleyball into communities where it is under-supported or does not yet exist.

There is no finished model. Just a clear direction and people willing to move toward it together.

Why It's Called Serve & Receive

In volleyball, serve and receive are the two most important contacts in the game. Every probability of winning a point traces back to those two touches. The serving team is trying to push the offense away from the net. The receiving team is trying to pull it back. The outcome of that exchange sets everything else in motion.

We see the same dynamic off the court. What you are given and what you do with it are inseparable. We want our athletes to think not only about what they are receiving but about how they are serving others with it.

These athletes receive world class coaching, genuine investment, and the chance to compete at the highest level. And they serve others with it, showing up in their communities, introducing the sport to kids who have never played, and proving that what you are given is most valuable when you pass it on.

The boys receive. The boys serve. The impact compounds.
