Head Coach — Basketball

Mark Parayno

I’ve been coaching youth basketball for nearly 20 years because I enjoy helping kids develop their skills and seeing the confidence they gain along the way. I find it rewarding to help student athletes recognize their potential and work toward becoming better players.

Coaching Philosophy

My main focus is to gauge where each student athlete is in their development and train them to reach the next level. I believe the skills and confidence built through basketball can extend into other parts of their lives.

Experience

I’ve coached youth basketball through the YMCA and other basketball programs in Santa Clara.
