Rich Ortiz is a fundamentals-focused coach with a deep passion for both playing and teaching the game of volleyball. With 13 years of experience playing in travel leagues and now entering his 10th year of coaching, Rich brings a strong foundation of knowledge and care to every athlete he works with. I genuinely care about the personal development of each player—because their success is my success.

Rich began his coaching journey in city recreation leagues with his two stepdaughters and progressed alongside them through the club level. Along the way, he gained valuable experience by learning from and assisting collegiate coaches and top club coaches in the sport. My years as a player help me relate to my athletes and explain not just how to do something, but why fundamentals matter.
