One year after launching United Birmingham, we sit down with Club Director Ryan Freeburg to reflect on what the journey has been like so far.

Ryan shares the challenges and rewards of building a club from the ground up, creating a healthy environment for athletes and families, developing coaches, and establishing a culture centered around growth, trust, and teamwork.

We also discuss the unique landscape of volleyball in Birmingham, the importance of balancing individual goals with team success, and what it takes to build something meaningful from the ground up.

This conversation offers an honest look at leadership, culture, communication, and the lessons learned throughout United Birmingham's first year.
