PATCHOGUE BASKETBALL INSIGHTS
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly do you train in the Patchogue area?
We operate out of dedicated indoor facilities accessible to Patchogue residents. While parks like Father Tortora are great for the community, they are often crowded and weather-dependent. Our indoor locations provide a professional, private environment to work on your game without distractions or interruptions.
Do you accept beginners from the local middle 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 local youth leagues?
Youth leagues are excellent for game experience, but they don't teach high-level mechanics. 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 chaotic team practice.
Can you help me prepare for Patchogue-Medford Raiders tryouts?
Yes. This is exactly who we serve. Our training is designed to translate directly to competitive play. We work on the specific skills, consistency, decision-making, and conditioning, that high school coaches look for when building their rotations.
Do you offer training for athletes looking to play in college?
Absolutely. With landmarks like St. Joseph's University right in town, many local players have collegiate ambitions. Xavier Allen’s experience as a Collegiate Scoring Leader allows him to provide specific guidance on what it takes to transition from high school to the college game.
Is the training schedule flexible for busy students?
Yes. We know Patchogue students are busy with school and extracurriculars. We offer flexible scheduling for our private and semi-private sessions to ensure you can get your reps in without sacrificing your academic commitments.
