Vivian's initial goal in November 2023 was to begin introducing the game of volleyball to the local youth so that they have a baseline understanding of how to play the game before they get to high school.

Through recreational leagues, camps, private lessons, and travel teams, Vivian and Reece are dedicated to making volleyball accessible to everyone in Northeast Louisiana.
