Basketball Training in Longwood (Coram), NY

ELITE ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT IN CORAM

Don't let the district sprawl or the winter freeze slow you down.

The Longwood school district is massive, and for a dedicated basketball player, navigating the sprawl from Coram to Middle Island while fighting the winter weather is a challenge. When the temperature drops on Route 112 and the outdoor courts at the Coram Athletic Association are unplayable, development often takes a backseat. X-Factor Basketball Training provides the consistent, high-intensity environment serious athletes need to bridge the winter gap.

We are not a recreational program or a substitute for a long commute to a distant gym. We provide advanced, pro-level instruction for players who are ready to separate themselves from the crowd and refine their mechanics, footwork, and basketball IQ under the guidance of a current professional.

1-ON-1 COACHING FOR LIONS HOPEFULS

Private & Semi-Private Training

In a district as large as Longwood, competition for roster spots is fierce. "Lion Pride" runs deep, but making the team requires more than just showing up. Our Private and Semi-Private training is designed to give you the technical advantage needed to stand out in a crowded gym. Led by Xavier Allen, these sessions focus on the specific assets, shooting consistency, ball-handling under pressure, and defensive IQ, that make you indispensable to a coach.

We do not rely on scripted drills or "busy work." We focus on DETAILS and game-transferable skills that hold up against elite competition.
 

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 in the Longwood/Coram area?

We utilize dedicated indoor facilities convenient for families in Coram and the surrounding Longwood district. While the Coram Athletic Association fields are great for outdoor recreation, our indoor locations provide a professional environment with standard rims and consistent flooring, ensuring your development isn't dictated by the weather.
 

Do you accept beginners from local elementary schools?

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

How does this differ from the Coram Athletic Association (CAA)?

The CAA is fantastic for community engagement and league play. X-Factor is specialized technical training. We focus on individual skill breakdown, correcting form, teaching footwork, and developing IQ, that you simply cannot get during a recreational game or team practice.
 

Can you help me prepare for Longwood Lions tryouts?

Yes. This is exactly who we serve. In a district this big, tryouts are competitive. We work on the specific skills, consistency, decision-making, and conditioning, that varsity coaches look for when cutting down a large roster.
 

Do you offer training during the winter months?

Yes. The winter "training gap" is where most players fall behind. We operate year-round, providing a warm, consistent place to train when the courts at Centereach Park or local schools are unavailable or frozen.
 

Do you work with players from Middle Island and Ridge?

Yes. We serve the entire Longwood Central School District area. Whether you are coming from Middle Island, Ridge, Yaphank, or right here in Coram, if you are a serious athlete committed to the game, you are welcome at X-Factor.
