Every great team starts with leadership, and at Desert Mountain, that leadership begins with Head Coach Kyle Avvakumovits.
Known for his energy, precision, and focus on fundamentals, Coach Kyle has built a reputation for developing players who are as smart as they are skilled. His approach balances accountability with encouragement, expecting the best while teaching how to get there.
Under his guidance, DM Hoops continues to strengthen its identity: fast, disciplined, and fearless. Assistant Coach Forrest brings a complementary voice, steady, tactical, and player-focused, helping refine everything from defensive rotations to game-time adjustments.
As the Wolves prepare for the 2025-2026 season, excitement is building for their home opener against the Ironwood Eagles on November 19, 2025, at 7:00 PM. The staff has spent the off-season emphasizing player development, conditioning, and chemistry, setting the stage for a statement year.
Coach Kyle often says, “The scoreboard will take care of itself if we play the right way.” That mindset defines DM Hoops. From freshman hopefuls to varsity captains, every player knows the goal: compete with heart, respect the game, and make every possession count.
The Wolves are ready. The fans are ready. And with Coach Kyle leading the pack, Desert Mountain Girls Basketball is poised to make the 2025-2026 season one to remember.
