Tom Pestolesi
Coach
Pestolesi will be taking a sabbatical during the fall sason of 2016, but will return to coaching at Irvine Valley with the women's beach team and the men's volleyball team in the spring of 2017. Tom Pestolesi began his volleyball career at Huntington Beach High School, graduating in 1978. He then attended Long Beach State, majoring in Physical Education and competing in volleyball. He transferred to the University of Hawaii and earned his degree in Physical Education in 1983. Tom was an All-American in volleyball at Hawaii in 1982 and 1983. He earned his Masters Degree from Long Beach State in 1989. Tom coached girls and boys volleyball for 15 years at the high school level at Estancia and then Newport Harbor with good friend Danny Glenn. Tom started the men's volleyball program at Irvine Valley in 1991. He was hired full-time in 1998 to coach both the women's and men's volleyball teams. He has led the men's program to state titles in 1993, 2007 and 2008 and the women's team to state championship appearances five times. The women's team finished second in the state in 2003, third in the state in 2009 and also third in the state in 2013. IVC's 2013 team is coming off a 24-2 record. The team won its first 24 matches of the season. The Lasers also won their fourth Orange Empire Conference title in program history under Tom last year. Tom was named the Orange Empire Conference coach of the year as well as the regional coach of the year for community colleges by the AVCA last season. He is currently the Director of Volleyball at IVC, acting as an assistant coach for the men's team and the head coach of the women's team. Many of Tom's former players have gone on to have successful volleyball careers. Some of his former players include John Wallace, Adam Lockwood, Todd and Brandi Brooks, Matt Feurbringer, Melissa Schutz, Misty May and Jennifer Carey. Tom has also coached professionally on the four player pro beach tour and has had the good fortune to coach players such as Kim Oden, Stephanie Cox, Joy Makenzie, Antonette White, Janet Cobbs and Wendy Stammer. And he is currently working with the women's and men's national teams during their summer training.
