5 TOOL TRAINING

What 5 TOOL TRAINING does

5 Tool Training is a privately held, founder-owned indoor youth sports training facility founded in 2014 by Coach Taylor in Jacksonville, Florida. The company specializes in baseball and softball instruction for athletes ages 4 through 18, delivering its services from a single location at 14797 Philips Highway (Suite 115, Jacksonville, FL 32256) and serving the broader Jacksonville/Ponte Vedra/Northeast Florida market. The product portfolio includes professional one-on-one and small-group lessons ($50-$100/hour), multi-format summer and single-day camps ($160-$250/week), team training for travel, high school, and recreational teams ($10/player/hour), bootcamps (Stealth Training, Coach Taylor Hitting, Future Ballers), facility and batting-cage rentals ($25-$70/hour), sports-themed birthday parties (from $325), gift certificates, and memberships.

The company also operates Florida Stealth, a competitive travel softball program (10U-18U) founded in 2015, which functions as both a standalone team product and a developmental pipeline feeding athletes back into the company's lessons and team-training offerings. Technology stack is intentionally lightweight: RunSwift App for online booking and scheduling, the Futures App (third-party) for subscription-based virtual coaching video analysis, Squarespace for the company website, and standard email for customer communications. No proprietary AI, in-house software product, or technology platform is disclosed.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with no paid advertising identified, relying instead on word-of-mouth referrals, an Instagram presence, and community partnerships with local schools (Atlantic Coast High School, Ponte Vedra High School) and travel-ball organizations. The company maintains a ~10-person organization anchored by Coach Taylor (Owner/Founder) and Coach Beane (General Manager/Director of Coaching), supported by a coaching bench with collegiate playing credentials. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, operates at small business scale, and has been continuously operating since 2014.
