Come Home To Ararat
Ararat Basketball is a year-round program for boys and girls of all ages and skill levels, built on teamwork, character, and Armenian community.
Play at every level. Boys and girls of various ages and skill levels train, compete, and grow together in a year-round athletic environment.
Practices, games, and tournaments. Organized practices, competitive games, and tournaments give athletes real experience and room to improve.
Lessons that last. Along with the fundamentals, athletes build discipline, teamwork, leadership, sportsmanship, and respect for others.
Friendships for life. Teammates become friends, and families become part of something bigger than a single season.
Ararat Basketball is more than a place to play. It is a community built around athletics, friendship, and cultural identity, with one goal: helping young people grow into confident, responsible individuals.
Ararat is the Glendale chapter of Homenetmen, an international Armenian organization founded in 1918. We have served the Armenian-American community since 1978, and our basketball program carries that tradition forward.
We take pride in our competitive achievements. But the lessons learned and friendships formed along the way matter just as much as the score.
At the heart of Ararat Basketball is a culture sustained by generations of volunteers. Coaches, parents, committee members, and community leaders have given countless hours, not for recognition, but out of a shared commitment to something greater than themselves.
Young athletes who once learned from their coaches often return years later as coaches, mentors, parents, and volunteers. They carry forward the same values they were taught. Each generation inherits what came before, and takes on the responsibility to strengthen it and pass it on.
