DAVE TAYLOR PRAISES OUR ATHLETES FROM DTX CAMP

40+ athletes took part in the X-Factor Camp run by American coach, Dave Taylor this past school holidays. The athletes were there to learn valuable lessons and gain feedback on their game from Coach Taylor who has assessed many college-bound athletes and worked closely with the development of NBA players such as DeMarcus Cousins from the Sacramento Kings.

"The camp was really successful, we were able to unearth a couple of potential future college players that could play in the United States. Diamond Valley have a great development program, hopefully we can expose more players to the US style and possibly gain a scholarship over the next couple of years", Coach Dave Taylor said.

The 2-day camp was highly skill-based, with an emphasis on repetitions, covering individual offensive moves, footwork, shooting technique with a quick release, finishes at the rim and some 5 on 5 in both the half court and full court.

Coach Taylor filmed all of the 5 on 5 gameplay, which he will review and give video feedback on to each camp attendee.

‘The camp had a great intensity to it, setting a standard for the next level to athletes of all ages and all levels’, Camp coach, Charlie Fyffe said.

‘The skill work we did was in depth and to some, at a level they hadn’t been exposed to. The pace of the 5 on 5 scrimmaging was higher each game and it gave the athletes an experience of what college life is like for those that are hopeful of playing over in the U.S College system’.

Thank you to  Coach Taylor, his coaches and all of the X-Factor Camp athletes for a very successful camp !
