Hello my name is Armen Grigorian I am from Glendale CA I have played the sport of basketball since I was 8 years old right now I’m 34 years old so 26 years I have coached kids at glendale ymca since age 13 so 21 years of coaching. I also inspire kids to be successful on and off the court I am a shooting exhibitionist I pride myself on that to be efficient in my shot making abilities. I am a basketball lifer I love the game very much it makes happy to see a kid evolve their skills on the basketball court offensively and defensively. What is more important to me is being humble on the court with displaying great sportsmanship I think it translates for their lives outside of basketball it puts a smile on my face

My passion for basketball has only grown in my 10 years of coaching. I thrive on cultivating young talent and helping players reach their full potential, both on and off the court. Let's connect and elevate your game! If you are willing to put the work in, I will get you there I am a history teacher and Varsity Head BBall Coach. I am 6'5" and specialize in helping kids with size learn how to move their feet as well as how to take advantage of their size, both popping the tre and putting it on the floor and finishing over smaller players. On the flip side, I have also mastered how to teach ballers lacking in size to find space and see the court to open up the midrange game and the tre, or just dribble hesi and finish through the big with contact. If you want to learn how to ball with the toughness of the old days mixed with the new beautiful game of logo shooters, then let's get you there. Grit, tenacity, dropping that 3 ball, grabbing boards, running transition.....all really important skills that I can help you with! I played bball and football in HS and in the Marine Corps.....as well as in leuges and on A courts in Newport on 32nd street, Milesquare, Venice, the Arc at UCI, etc. I attended UCI on a full ride academic scholarship and was approached by the head coach as he wanted me on the squad to help his 7 footer develop. I declined but still played with them often. If I want it more than I do, there is a problem....how bad do you want it? I can only show you the path. You have to walk it!

"This is from my shooting guard....I watched this kid go from playing bball because his friend asked him to, to dropping 3's on bigger, stronger kids. "To be honest I think your a really good coach if it wasn’t for you I would not learn the stuff or be who I am today I probably would not have the scoring capabilityI now have ( shooting 3's), you lead us to an undefeated record of 11-1. I still remember you teaching me how to do a layup. To a little dog to a big dog.😭 I would like to you have you for a aau coach 💪💪 sincerely Devin 💪💪

"First time trying out training and in the first couple of trainings I learned how to attack the basket and use moves that help me get around the court instead of picking up the ball and passing. I plan to continue to get more sessions!

I’m committed to helping players of all levels elevate their game through focused skill development, strategic decision-making, and a true love for the sport.

I believe that mastering both sides of the court not only builds complete players but also creates more opportunities to excel at the next level and beyond.
