Fun Fact: “Andiamo!” is Julian’s most used on-court celebration, which means “let’s go” in Italian. 

Julian Arnold has one of the most passionate on-court personalities pickleball has ever seen. His passion is matched only by his ferocious ability to track down balls and his desire to leave it all on the court after every match. A former UCLA tennis player and tennis instructor, Julian transferred his talents to pickleball and dedicated himself to the sport full time in 2021. A mix of professional pickleballer and entrepreneur, Julian launched his own pickleball brand, Volair, in 2022. With notable victories over almost every top pro in the game using his signature Volair paddle, Julian is a force on tour and a fan favorite, filling stadiums for matches that never disappoint. A proud member of the Los Angeles Mad Drops Major League Pickleball Team, Julian will be a name to watch on the PPA and MLP next season.
