Basketball Training in Babylon, NY

INDOOR FOCUS FOR THE COMMUTER FAMILY

Don't let the commute or the cold freeze your game.

Babylon is a vibrant village, but the life of a commuter family often leaves little time for wasted trips. When the LIRR schedule is tight and the courts at Belmont Lake State Park are buried in snow, maintaining an elite basketball regimen feels impossible. While the Babylon Panthers are fighting for position in the standings, serious players cannot afford a four-month winter layoff. X-Factor Basketball Training provides the solution.

We offer advanced, pro-level instruction for athletes who are ready to separate themselves from the competition. Whether you travel to our elite facility or book a premium concierge session, we refine your mechanics, footwork, and basketball IQ under the guidance of a current professional.

Why Choose Us


 

Beat the Winter Freeze

Babylon winters are harsh, making outdoor training at Belmont Lake impossible for months. We provide the climate-controlled consistency you need to keep your skills sharp when Main Street is covered in ice.

Professional Pedigree

You are training with Xavier Allen, a NY State scoring leader and active pro. This is mentorship rooted in real high-level experience, distinct from the general instruction found in local youth leagues.

No Beginners Allowed

We respect the "Panther" standard of excellence. We do not accept beginners. You will train alongside other motivated, competitive athletes who are at an "Advanced 6th Grade" level or higher.

Concierge Training Options

We know Babylon parents are on a tight schedule. While our main hub is in Quogue, we offer premium "travel-to-you" options for clients with access to private indoor facilities, bringing pro-level development directly to you.

1-ON-1 COACHING FOR PANTHER HOPEFULS

Private & Semi-Private Training

The Babylon Panthers have a proud tradition, and earning a spot on the varsity roster requires more than just athleticism. Our Private and Semi-Private training is designed to build the specific assets, shooting consistency, ball-handling under pressure, and defensive IQ, that make you indispensable to a coach. Led by Xavier Allen, we focus on the "Details" that allow you to execute within a system while maintaining the ability to create for yourself.

We do not rely on scripted drills. We work on game-transferable skills that hold up against rival programs like Islip and North Babylon.
 

Our Focus Areas Include:
 

• Elite Footwork & Balance:

Learning to operate efficiently in tight spaces, mirroring the mechanics Xavier uses against pro competition.


• Game-Speed Shot Creation:

Moving beyond stationary shooting to master spacing, pace, and creating your own shot off the dribble.


• Basketball IQ & Decision Making:

Understanding why to make a move, not just how. We teach you to see the floor like a pro.


• Defensive Mechanics:

Advanced positioning and agility work to ensure you can guard the best player on the opposing team.


• Mentorship:

Honest feedback on what it takes to succeed, from a trainer who currently navigates the professional basketball landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly do you train?

My primary, consistent training location is Sportime in Quogue. While this is a drive from Babylon, it is a dedicated facility for elite work. However, if you have access to a high-quality private indoor gym in Babylon, I can travel to you for a premium fee.
 

What are the fees if you travel to Babylon?

If you require me to travel to Babylon (e.g., to your home gym or a private facility), there will be an additional gas fee and an overall higher price for labor to account for the significant travel time. If you prefer the standard rate, you must come to the Quogue location.
 

Do you accept beginners from Babylon Memorial Grade School?

No. I maintain a strict standard to ensure the quality of training. Athletes must be at an "Advanced 6th Grade" level or higher with prior competitive experience. I am best suited for players looking to excel in travel, school, or collegiate basketball.
 

How does this differ from training at Belmont Lake State Park?

Public parks are great for pickup games, but they lack structure and are weather-dependent. X-Factor is specialized technical training in a controlled environment. We focus on individual skill breakdown, correcting form, teaching footwork, and developing IQ, that you simply cannot get on an outdoor court.
 

Can you help me prepare for the Babylon Panthers varsity tryouts?

Yes. This is exactly who I serve. The Panthers program is competitive. I work on the specific skills, consistency, decision-making, and conditioning, that varsity coaches look for when building their rotations.
 

Do you offer training for college-bound athletes?

Yes. Xavier Allen’s experience as a Collegiate Scoring Leader allows him to provide specific guidance on the transition from high school to the college game, helping ambitious Babylon athletes prepare for the next level.
