These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great training fulfillment & student reviews.
I’m a lifelong student of the game, raised in a family of coaches, and I’ve spent years in the gym studying how players actually improve. I care about the details—footwork, decision-making, and building skills that show up in real games. Every session is focused on helping players grow their confidence, understand the game, and become more effective when it matters. I built my own game around efficiency—shooting over 60% from three with a 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio—and that same approach is what I now use to help players improve and reach their potential. Above all, my goal is to help players develop a genuine love for the game that lasts a lifetime.
For a decade, I've been driven by a passion for unlocking the potential within every basketball player. My coaching blends technical expertise with a supportive and engaging approach, making learning both effective and fun. Let's step onto the court together and elevate your game!

Los Angeles is one of the best places in the country to develop a young basketball player. Public courts stay playable nearly year-round in the city's dry climate, and the rec-center network gives coaches real court time without a private-club membership. Westside families meet at the Cheviot Hills Recreation Center, the most-used basketball spot in the city, while Valley players train at Van Nuys Sherman Oaks Park and central-LA athletes use the Michelle and Barack Obama Sports Complex in Mid-City. The coaches here bring serious depth: Armen Grigorian has 26 years on the court, Tevin Falzon has spent three decades developing well-rounded athletes, and Marc Fernandez brings 15 years focused on youth skill development. Many coach school or club teams themselves, so they know the local tryout calendar firsthand. Across the roster, the 13 coaches average a 4.93 rating, and lessons run roughly $40 to $150 by experience and session length. Whether your goal is fundamentals for a 9-year-old, making a middle-school team, or sharpening a varsity game before the season, there is a fit in Los Angeles.
