Teen Entrepreneur Ben Blasi of Servin’ Swag Redefines Volleyball Apparel for Athletes Nationwide

By: Joshua Finley

At just 16 years old, Ben Blasi, a junior at Carlsbad High School, has already made waves in the athletic apparel industry with his company, Servin’ Swag. Focused on filling a gap in the market, Blasi has designed the Vertical Trainer Jogger Pants, a product tailored specifically for volleyball players and tall, slender athletes.

As the popularity of boys’ volleyball surges across the United States, Servin’ Swag is stepping in to offer players gear designed for performance, comfort, and style. The Vertical Trainer represents a thoughtful approach born from Blasi’s firsthand experience as a volleyball player and his desire to create an option that meets the needs of his peers.

Innovating Volleyball Apparel

Servin’ Swag’s signature product, the Vertical Trainer Jogger Pants, addresses a long-standing issue faced by many tall, slender athletes: finding pants that truly fit. Standard athletic apparel often assumes that long inseams correlate with large waistlines, leaving a void for athletes with lean builds. Recognizing this issue, Blasi set out to design pants that are functional and tailored to meet these unique needs.

“Volleyball players and other tall athletes have struggled for years to find gear that fits and performs the way they need,” Blasi said. “The Vertical Trainer Joggers are designed to address that problem by combining premium materials with a thoughtful design that focuses on fit and functionality.”

Constructed from high-quality athletic fabrics, the Vertical Trainer Jogger Pants are built for durability, comfort, and versatility. These joggers are suitable for a variety of settings, including volleyball courts, workouts, or casual activities. Key features include:

Tailored Fit: Designed specifically for tall athletes, the joggers are available in sizes ranging from S to 2XL, with inseam options of 32 and 34 inches.
Premium Athletic Fabric: Three different fabrics offer durability and flexibility for active use.
Thick Cuff and Waistband: Provides a snug yet flexible fit for long-lasting comfort.
Zippered Side Pockets: Offers secure storage for essentials.

Whether worn during beach volleyball matches or indoor practices, the joggers combine functionality and style, making them a versatile option for athletes seeking gear that meets their needs.

Supporting the Growing Volleyball Community

Boys’ volleyball is currently the fastest-growing sport in the United States, creating a new demand for specialized athletic gear. Servin’ Swag’s products cater directly to this emerging market, ensuring athletes have access to gear designed for their needs. By attending local events like the SoCal Cup Showcase and the OC Crown Grass Tourney, Servin’ Swag connects with players at every level.

“Our joggers are designed by volleyball players, for volleyball players,” Blasi explained. “Their versatility and carefully crafted quality make them a strong choice for anyone who values thoughtfully designed athletic apparel.”

Servin’ Swag is also expanding its offerings with plans to release a women’s collection and tall, slim-fit men’s shirts, demonstrating its commitment to meeting the needs of a diverse athletic community.

Empowering Athletes Beyond the Court

Servin’ Swag is about more than just creating athletic apparel—it’s about giving back to the volleyball community. Through an affiliate marketing program, the company provides student-athletes with opportunities to earn income while representing the brand.

This program has already drawn attention from recognized ambassadors, including Division 1 college players and professional athletes, who appreciate the quality of Servin’ Swag’s products.

“Our affiliate program is about creating opportunities,” Blasi said. “It’s about helping respected young athletes become part of something larger and giving them a chance to represent our brand while pursuing their goals. The biggest compliment we can receive is seeing these athletes wearing our gear.”

Customization for Teams and Clubs

In addition to its standard offerings, Servin’ Swag provides customization options for teams and clubs. The Vertical Trainer Joggers can be embroidered or screen-printed with logos, making them a practical option for team uniforms. This flexibility has positioned Servin’ Swag as a trusted choice for volleyball organizations looking for branded gear.

Entrepreneurship at Its Best

Launching the company at just 15 years old, he has managed to balance running a business with his responsibilities as a high school student and volleyball player. His ability to identify a need, develop a product, and build a brand has established him as a promising entrepreneur in the athletic apparel industry.

“Starting Servin’ Swag has been an incredible experience,” Blasi said. “It’s taught me the importance of hard work, attention to detail, and listening to customer feedback.”

A Vision for the Future

With the success of the Vertical Trainer Jogger Pants and plans to expand the product line, Servin’ Swag is poised for growth. Blasi’s commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction, and community engagement positions the company to continue making a positive impact in the volleyball world and beyond.

“Volleyball is more than just a sport—it’s a community,” Blasi said. “Servin’ Swag is here to support that community with gear that fits, performs, and inspires.”
