MEET THE COACH

LIANA ESMAILI

Hi, my name is Liana Esmaili. I started playing basketball when I was 14 years old and discovered my love for the game during my high school career. After I graduated high school I started my coaching career where I fell in love with being a coach. I've won one CIF-SS Division 1AA title as an assistant coach, have won 8 league titles with my high school teams and have had many players move on to go play college basketball at different levels. My goal for this program is to help my players find their love for the game and strive to be their best competitive selves.
