Discover the exciting world of pickleball! As an experienced player with two years of coaching experience, I'm passionate about sharing my love for this dynamic sport and helping you elevate your game, no matter your skill level.
With a decade of tennis and pickleball coaching experience, I cultivate skill and strategy. As a former college athlete, I bring passion and dedication to every pickleball lesson. Let's elevate your game with tailored coaching. I also competed in tennis pro level with some victories and former tennis coach at Burbank Tennis Center. Stopped coaching tennis to dedicate my time to turn my son Kevin Orellana who is a tennis pro and who played few times against Taylor Fritz who's number 4 in the world right now.
Fueled by a genuine love for the game, I've spent 3 years refining my teaching methods and share my passion for pickleball with players of all skill levels. As an experienced player myself, I focus on fundamentals. My goal is to help you elevate your game.
Around five years back, I fell head over heels for this addictive sport after years of USTA tennis. Recognizing the nuanced finesse required in pickleball, I pursued proper training, eager to bridge the gap for players transitioning from other sports. As a senior player, I've found pickleball to offer an incredible workout with less strain on the body. That's why I became a certified coach through the Professional Pickleball Registry, dedicated to teaching the game cohesively and joyfully. Let's smash some volleys and serve up smiles together on the court!
"terrific coach, informed caring and supportive!!!
More than just a game, pickleball is a passion I've enjoyed for 34 years. As an experienced player, I bring decades of knowledge and a contagious enthusiasm to every lesson. Let's work together to elevate your game and unlock your full potential on the court!

I’ve worked with kids and tweens quite a bit. The biggest factor I look out for is attitude. I believe in a firm yet encouraging approach, whether it’s young picklers or a more advanced one. Kids need to be encouraged and worked with their strengths more, and that is something I love doing!
