From the moment I was notified that Showtime Basketball was planning our tour to Australia, I knew that we would receive top-notch service and attention to detail. Because Jesse Clark is a women's college basketball coach, he knows and understands what coaches are looking for when we take our teams on these tours, and he was willing to pursue any avenue we suggested. Kelvin and Jesse did an outstanding job of working together to secure the excursions that we wanted, opportunities to walk around and see the sites on our own, down time when we anticipated needing it, and quality competition to make sure that we were challenged on the basketball court. Our entire travel party will be forever grateful to Showtime Basketball for their personal attention to every detail of the entire trip, and we will cherish the memories of our time in Australia for a lifetime.

Kelvin was exceptionally helpful pre-tour and gave realistic timeframes of when information and uniforms would be provided to those on tour. Kelvin was able to provide games at a variety of skill levels and locations around the USA and were very accommodating to the individual needs and destinations of the tour. Kelvin also provided excellent means of communicating back home and navigating when on the ground in the USA. The players on the tour left with an experience of a lifetime they will never forget, and only good memories of basketball and the USA. I highly recommend using Kelvin to organize your next USA Tour.

Outstanding experience traveling with Showtime Basketball. Been with their company on multiple trips, both with Australian teams to the USA and USA teams to Australia.  Everyone always loves the experiences provided.  They do what they can to maximise the experience, but to still limit the cost.  Experts in the field and experts in making the trip one to remember for all involved.

I coached a tour over the December/January period with a rep basketball team and can’t speak highly enough of the experiences provided from Kelvin and the team.

The access we were given to multiple NBA on-court experiences, as well as guided tours from assistant coaches and athletic directors of division 1 NCAA schools was like nothing I’ve ever experienced on other tours to the states.

I went on trips as a player myself and the life experience I gained was invaluable, and the experience as a coach was even better. Can not recommend highly enough!

Kelvin and the team from Showtime Basketball made our school's trip to the USA a trip of a lifetime. Showtime's organisation, ability to source games, experiences, college campus tours and so much more was beyond anything we could have imagined. Our students got to experience a packed itinerary full of Basketball, adventure and educational experiences. The portal system was a one stop shop for all information and made life extremely easy from an administrative point of view. We are already planning our next Basketball tour with Showtime as they far exceeded our expectations.

Showtime Basketball and Kelvin were outstanding with our foreign tour to Australia last summer. We made stops in 3 cities and everything we needed was executed very well. Kelvin and his staff were super helpful and organized a wonderful trip!

Our trip to Australia was life changing for all involved.  With the help of Showtime Basketball we played some great competition, interacted with the amazing people of Australia and observed the incredible landscape that both Sydney and Cairns has to offer.  After two weeks down under our team developed  incredible bond. Thanks to Kelvin and Showtime for making this one in a lifetime trip a reality.

This is my third time competing against the young men from Australia and it has been better and better each year.  This past year I think our kids were most intrigued about the popularity of the Australian Rules football and how many of the kids came in with the football and how to perform the kicks and passes.  I even had some of our kids in our physical education classes ask could we play. 

​

Kelvin was the man with the plan when it come to dotting the I's and crossing the T's.  He was very available if we had any questions and worked around all the things that can happen on a trip like this so the young men were able to stay on the itinerary.   All in all for Cedar Ridge High School the past three years have been an eye opening and positive experience for all involved and look forward to continuing it.

If you want a tour that will run smoothly, provide a feast of sporting opportunities for your players and enable an immersion into the basketball and sporting world of America, you can't go past Showtime Basketball to organise the experience. Kelvin will work over and beyond to ensure your tour is tailored around your needs and areas of the States you want to visit. Thanks Showtime, we will be back!

Ipswich Grammar School Basketball program toured USA in December and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We did Texas, Washington DC, New York and LA. Highly recommend Showtime Basketball and looking forward to organising our next tour in a few years time.

I hosted Australian teams in my girls basketball tournament at Lincoln High in Stockton, CA. Kelvin always arranged for us to host a great group of girls and a competitive team. Kids at the High School loved the experience of being able to interwar with the team and learn from them as well show them what we had to offer. Those girls that came to Lincoln High built relationships with our host families and were provided a home away from home. 

 

Dealing with Kelvin has always been both easy and personal. Communication and organization was always a priority and he gave us his very best. I look forward to my school, basketball program, and myself building more relationships with teams through his tours.

Our experience with Kelvin has been impressive with regard to tours, college recruitment and general advice as he has always exceeded our expectations. Kelvin has exceptional knowledge of the NCAA process and provides reliable, timely advice that is best for the athlete.

​

Kelvin’s most impressive asset in coordinating tours was the amount of experiences Kelvin has been able to facilitate which added significant value. Meeting the Mavs, Patty Mills and the Spurs as well as behind the scenes tour of Duke and NC State are still highlights for our tourers.

A very well-organised tour, which left no questions unanswered. The before, during and after tour support was first class. The app made it easy to track our son as he experienced an extremely individualised, once in a lifetime tour. He had access to activities dreams were made of and thoroughly enjoyed himself, whilst we were left confident that his needs would all be catered for.

Hosting a Aussie team is great, the games are fun but the time our kids have together is the best. I feel it is an experience every player should have the chance to enjoy, the games we have played have been very organized by Kelvin Taylor – he does a great job setting up each trip. He is in constant contact with you, is really helpful and easy to work with. Without out Kelvin our game would have never happen. We would love to host a team again as soon as we are able to.

Showtime Tours provided a fabulous experience for all members of our basketball Tour. We shared many great moments and found the "trip plan" app of great benefit keeping us organised and on track for our scheduled activities during the tour. We highly recommend Kelvin and his team.

We decided to embark on the basketball experience of a lifetime with Kelvin Taylor – from the outset we knew we had made the right decision. Every possible detail had been taken care of, no ask or question was ever a problem. The personalised and professional service shone through when our LA bound flight was delayed and we missed our connecting flight to Seattle, a call to Kelvin back in Melbourne, at some ungodly hour and he sprung into action and he immediately arranged alternate flights, overnight accommodation and relayed to the folk in Alaska that the Aussie’s had been delayed.

A fantastic trip was had by all with many life long memories and friendships made across the USA made that much easier and memorable for all the right reasons thanks Kelvin. I can only hope that we get to do it again!!

I wanted to thank you for many years of spirited and wonderful competition between our two countries! The boys and girls basketball games were just the beginning of a wonderful cultural and social exchange between all of our Student/Athletes. I think the highlights were the stories our students were able to share about their lives while sharing a dinner.

​

I believe all of our young people came to understand and embrace each others cultures, Kelvin does a first class job in all areas of these amazing and joyous events and I hope we can continue to share these great moments for many years to come.

In May of 2024, our basketball program traveled to Australia for our foreign tour. We go on an international trip every 4 years and this was my 3rd experience. From the beginning to end, it was the best. Kelvin's communication with me from the very beginning was incredible. He often said, "this is your trip - we want to make it perfect for you guys" and he did. From coming to Orono, Maine to meet with me twice prior to the trip, to seeing us off at the airport back to the US, Showtime Basketball handled everything perfectly. While in Australia, every little detail was taken care of and our players had the experience of a lifetime thanks to Kelvin and his team. I would recommend Showtime hoops to any organization that is looking to take their program on an international tour.

Wonderful Tour! Our Athletes got a lot out of it. The college campus tours were extremely valuable to the kids who are looking to take that route in their basketball development. The games were an eye-opener for all out athletes to see the level of basketball in the USA.

Gold Coast Basketball reviewed many tour companies and decided to use Showtime for a team trip to the United States. I attended the tour and was extremely impressed with the full itinerary and flexibility of the company in regards to allowing the group to make some choices on which sightseeing ventures to take.

​

Their online itinerary program was informative and easily viewed. When travelling as a first time group there will inevitably be some issues while on the other side of the world and Showtime was quick to respond to deal with any issue that we ran into.
