Get to know Coach Orville
About Me:
Played on top travel baseball teams in high school as well as playing for my high school team. Went on to play in college before breaking my arm and wrist in multiple places in a college game that ended my Baseball career. Fell in love with coaching softball for my sister when she young. She now coaches high level softball players. I went to coaching baseball and training players 7 years ago when my sons started playing. They both now play for competitive travel baseball programs. I coach a 9u travel team at the moment.
How I can help you improve your game:
Training hard in one or multiple sessions. Preferably multiple sessions, Rome wasn't built in one day. Diving into player strengths making them stronger. Building confidence in players weaknesses making them strengths. Intense training in a state of the art facility. Repetitive drills in multiple areas to help the players on the field. 110% of my focus for you and your player, with 1 on 1 training. Lots of hitting drills and swings to get player dialed in and focused to succeed in the batters box. Pitching machine, soft toss, live pitching. For catchers many drills to develop their pop up times, blocking, receiving, and throwing. Pitching in a facility to help throw off different mounds and distances with multiple techniques and arm strength training, building muscle in areas of concentration.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Dynamic warm-up
warming up arm and stretching
drills focused on different potions on the field.
Ground balls
fly balls
catching drills for catchers
pitching drills for pitchers
arm, core and leg strengthen drills
hitting drills and hitting training, machine at different speeds, left handed pitchers, right handed pitchers as well works on different pitches, curve ball, fast ball both 4 seam and 2 seam. Focus on what position the player wants to play now and in the future.

Best coach I ever had:
Coach Kane. He was my Varsity basketball coach at Milpitas high school. His knowledge of the game was unmatched for the level he coached at. Could have been a college coach and even a professional coach if he wanted to be, but he was focused on development of young players and education more than being a a big time on TV coach. He inspired me to do the same for the young athletes in my community for the sport of baseball.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I'm full of energy and positivity. I know all positions in the game, if you play infield, outfield, or if your a catcher or pitcher I can help develop you as a player or I can help your young athlete be the best they can be on or off the field. No matter what level you play or what level you desire to play I can build confidence for you to strive to be the best player you want to be now and for the future. I have many drills for all positions that you plan on playing. I'm also a A+ hitting coach. I can make you an elite player and take your sons to play at an elite level.
I will help them go PRO!
Will do training daily, right now weekends work best. But I can train daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
