Our Story

Billy Glading and Trey Whitty have been friends since they were teammates at the University of Virginia. Their time playing together was capped off with a 2003 National Championship victory in Baltimore, MD. While their next chapters would find themselves playing against each other at the professional level, the bond built through their journey at Virginia was strong enough to bring them back together many years later for the creation of Ringerz. Trey and Billy operate with the hope that young players enjoy their own journey through sports and never forget that through all the required hard work, it is meant to be fun. It is a game after all. They are dedicated to keeping the core values of positivity, confidence, self-expression and FUN at the forefront of everything Ringerz creates!
 
"Athletics has given me so much. I will be forever grateful for the confidence it instilled in me, the lessons in victory and defeat, and of course the great memories made with wonderful people along the way. I think that no matter the level, everyone can and should have that same experience with the game they love" - Billy
 
“Sports and being a part of a team has always been a major part of my life.  Friendships, road trips, life lessons, the grind, and the wins and losses, have all shaped me as a person.  I wouldn’t trade any of it.  The journey is everything.” - Trey
