RIVERHEAD BASKETBALL RESOURCES
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly do you train in the Riverhead area?
We operate out of dedicated indoor facilities accessible to Riverhead athletes. Unlike public options like Stotzky Memorial Park, our locations are climate-controlled and reserved for focused training, ensuring you have a professional environment to work on your game regardless of the season.
Do you accept beginners from Riverhead Charter Middle School?
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 East End Hawks programs?
Youth leagues are excellent for game experience and general fun, but X-Factor is specialized technical training. We focus on individual skill breakdown, mechanics, and pro-level nuances (spacing, pace, footwork) that are rarely taught in large team practices or recreational leagues.
Can you help me prepare for the Riverhead Blue Waves varsity 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 outdoor training at local parks in the summer?
Generally, no. While we love the vibe of summer basketball, our sessions require a controlled environment to maximize efficiency. We utilize indoor courts to ensure standard rim heights, consistent flooring for ball handling, and zero weather interruptions.
Do you work with players from other towns near Riverhead?
Yes. While we focus heavily on the Riverhead community, we welcome serious athletes from neighboring areas like Polish Town, Aquebogue, and beyond who are willing to put in the work. If you can get here and you have the drive, we will train you.
