Here are some of the frequently asked questions that we receive:
1. Where do you practice?
Our on field practices are held at Davis Park, 210 Davis Park Rd., Ponte Vedra, FL 32081
We do our skills training and “rain outs” at our state of the art facility at 5 Tool Training, 14797 Philips Hwy., Jacksonville, FL 32256.
2. When are practices?
Softball: 10u & 12u - Tuesdays Field Practice 5:45pm-7:45pm and Thursdays are our well known skill night from 5pm-8pm.
Baseball: 12u - Mondays Field Practice 6pm-8pm and Thursdays times TBD
3. What is the 10u Stealth Training Bootcamp?
It is for players looking to start their travel softball experience. Most of our Stealth Training Bootcamp players continue to play on a recreational team or a travel team. The Stealth Training Bootcamp practices are on Wednesdays with a focus on proper skill development, character development and knowledge of the game.
4. What are your fees for the season?
5. Why are your fees higher than other organizations?
We have paid coaches on staff for each team. These coaches do NOT have a daughter on the team.
Each team's paperwork is done by our 5 Tool Training staff and is not delegated to a parent. This includes: team sanctioning, practice schedules, tournament schedules, practice planning, hotel group room blocks to help save you money and so much more!
We have some of the best facilities in the area whether it is at Davis Park OR at our home at ABOVE Athletics Center on Philips Highway.
6. When are fees due?
A $500 deposit is due after tryouts (IF YOUR CHILD IS OFFERED A SPOT ON THE TEAM) for all players committed to the team and that goes towards your daughter's dues for the season.
We allow you to make your payment in full at the beginning of the season OR you can make a half payment.
Parents wishing to set up a payment plan can speak to Coach Taylor and we are happy to work out a schedule.
7. Where do I find the sign up for bootcamps?

We encourage our parents/players to engage local businesses to defray the cost of playing on our teams. The business will get their logo displayed on our website.
12. How does fundraising work?
We do NOT require you to do any fundraising. But, if you choose to do fundraising all of the money goes directly towards your daughter's fees. We have done the following in the past: coin drops, run the PVGS concession stand, had events at Table 1, and cashiered at TPC. We are open to any ideas that you have. Contact Coach Taylor with ideas.
13. Do you offer scholarships?
Yes, we have several scholarships set up for players that are in need. Last season we gave out 5 scholarships to players on our teams. If you feel that you would qualify for one of our scholarships you need to fill out the application provided at the link below and submit it to Coach Taylor at fuelingtheirfuture@gmail.com BEFORE tryouts each season.
Applications are due by July 15 for the fall season and December 5 for the spring season.
