ZA Basketball Academy 

I’m Zareh Avedian, known as Coach Z — a lifelong basketball player, former pro, and youth coach based in Glendale, CA. I’ve played the game since age 9, earning All-American honors in high school and starring at Cal Lutheran University as a 3-time First Team All-Conference player and Conference Player of the Year. I played professionally in Europe and the ABA, and was inducted into the Ventura County, Cal Lutheran (2014), and Hoover High (2019) Halls of Fame.
Today, I coach kids ages 7–13 through ZA Basketball Academy, offering 1-on-1 training, age-based weekend camps, game-focused drills, and video analysis. I focus on fundamentals: shooting, passing, handling, defense, and teamwork. My goal is to build confident, skilled players from the ground up.
