SUCCESS STORIES
Young athletes from Sparta and Sussex County who transformed their game through dedicated private training with Kevin Houston at The Basketball Factory.
Jason Heter
High School Player
Division 2 College Basketball
"Training with Kevin was truly transformative for me. Having played at the Division 2 level, I've encountered many trainers, but Kevin's talent for identifying and enhancing my skills significantly distinguished him. His individualized drills and feedback, based on his professional experience, have not only elevated my basketball IQ but also boosted my confidence on the court. Each session with Kevin made me more ready to tackle the challenges ahead. He's more than just a basketball trainer; he's a mentor who genuinely invests in your development."
Madison Miller
Varsity Basketball Team
Starting Point Guard - Committed to Montclair State
"I started private lessons with Mr. Basic in 8th grade, and it completely changed my basketball career. He helped me develop the ball handling skills and court vision I needed to become a point guard. By sophomore year, I was starting on varsity, and now I'm committed to playing at Montclair State University. Kevin didn't just make me a better player - he taught me how to be a leader on the court and stay mentally tough during pressure situations."
Tyler Chen
Middle School Athlete
Made Elite Travel Team
"My son Tyler was cut from his travel team tryouts. We found Kevin Houston and started private lessons twice a week. In just six months, Tyler's skills improved so much that he made the elite travel team in our area. Kevin focused on Tyler's weaknesses - his left hand and defensive footwork - and turned them into strengths. More importantly, Kevin rebuilt Tyler's confidence after being cut. Now Tyler plays with passion and isn't afraid to compete at the highest level."

Jennifer Walsh
Parent - Sparta, NJ
"We tried a few basketball programs around Sussex County before finding Kevin Houston at The Basketball Factory. The difference was night and day. My son went from being afraid to shoot in games to becoming one of his team's top scorers. Kevin's patient teaching style and focus on fundamentals really built his confidence. As a parent in Sparta, I love how easy it is to schedule sessions and how Kevin keeps me updated on my son's progress. Worth every penny!"
Michael Torres
Parent - Newton, NJ
"My daughter has been training with Mr. Basic for six months now, and her improvement is incredible. She made varsity as a freshman! Kevin doesn't just teach basketball skills - he teaches life skills like discipline, focus, and mental toughness. The private lessons are personalized to exactly what she needs to work on. We drive from Newton to Sparta every week because the quality of training is unmatched. Highly recommend to any parent looking for real results!"
Robert Jenkins
Parent - Hopatcong, NJ
"As a dad who played college basketball, I'm pretty picky about trainers. Kevin Houston is the real deal. He fixed my son's shooting form in just three sessions, and now he's shooting 45% from three-point range! What impresses me most is Kevin's ability to explain complex basketball concepts in ways that young athletes can understand and apply. The Basketball Factory's facility in Sparta is top-notch, and Kevin's professionalism is outstanding. Best investment in my son's athletic development."
Lisa Martinez
Parent - Andover, NJ
"My twin boys have been doing private lessons with Kevin for over a year. What I appreciate most is how he tailors each session to their individual needs - even though they're the same age, they have different strengths and weaknesses. Kevin recognizes this and works with each of them accordingly. They've both improved dramatically in ball handling and court awareness. The boys actually look forward to their training sessions, which speaks volumes about Kevin's teaching style!"
