Academy
Built for the serious middle school softball athlete. Daily structured training, NGT performance coaching, and a professional facility where elite athletes are developed — and where the pros train.
Develop Now. Dominate Later.
The TPSI Middle School Softball Academy is a daily, structured training program for athletes in grades 5 through 8. This is not a recreational league or a weekend clinic. It is a serious development environment built around one goal: producing a more complete softball athlete by the time she gets to high school.
Every session is structured and intentional. Athletes receive position-specific skill instruction, performance and conditioning training through Nicole Gabriel Training, and access to Synergy Performance Rehab on site for recovery, mobility, and injury prevention. The environment is professional — this is the same facility where active MLB players train — and that standard carries into every rep.
The program runs Monday through Friday with integrated training and development across all areas of the game. Whether your athlete needs to refine her mechanics, build strength and speed, or develop the softball IQ to compete at the next level, this program is built for that work.
The academy is also Step Up for Students approved, meaning eligible Florida families may be able to use scholarship funding to offset program costs.
What This Program Delivers
Performance Training With NGT
Nicole Gabriel Training leads all strength and conditioning work — building speed, power, agility, and coordination during the years that matter most for athletic development. NGT has trained MLB All-Stars and elite athletes of all levels at this facility.
Skill Development
Position-specific softball instruction focused on fundamentals, technique, and softball IQ. Pitching, hitting, fielding, catching — each session is targeted at making athletes better at the positions they actually play.
Recovery With Synergy Performance Rehab
Synergy Performance Rehab is on site and integrated into the program. Athletes receive hands-on support for mobility, injury prevention, and recovery — keeping growing bodies performing at their best through a full training week.
Structure + Accountability
A consistent, positive training environment that builds discipline, focus, and confidence. The academy operates on a professional schedule — athletes are expected to show up ready to work, and they are coached to do exactly that.
Built For Long-Term Athletic Success
Daily Structured Training Environment
A full Monday–Friday schedule built around athlete development — not pickup workouts or inconsistent practice schedules. Integrated training across strength, skills, and recovery every week.
Proven Development During Key Growth Years
Grades 5–8 are the most critical years for establishing athletic habits, mechanics, and physical foundation. This program exists specifically to capture that window at the highest level.
State-of-the-Art Facility
24-foot ceilings, full climate control, professional batting cages, performance training floor, and 63-space parking — a facility built for serious athletic development, not improvised around a school gym.
Mentorship and Discipline Focus
Coaching at TPSI goes beyond the technical. Athletes are held to a standard that mirrors what high school and travel coaches will expect — in effort, attitude, and coachability.
Train Where the Pros Train
Active MLB players — including Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Teoscar Hernandez, and Junior Caminero — train at TPSI with Nicole Gabriel. Your athlete develops inside that same professional environment every day.
