At 9 Tool National, we believe dedicated players deserve access to exceptional coaching, advanced training, player development technology, and high-level competition. We also understand that investing in a serious baseball player’s future can be a significant financial commitment for families. That’s why we created The Diamond Fund, our family fundraising program designed to help offset player expenses and make our comprehensive baseball development experience more affordable.

The Diamond Fund gives families the opportunity to participate in organized fundraising campaigns throughout the year, with the majority of eligible net proceeds going directly toward their player’s program expenses.

For every dollar of eligible net proceeds generated through an approved fundraising campaign, 85% is credited directly to your player’s account to help offset program costs.

The remaining 15% supports the administration, coordination, and operation of our fundraising initiatives.

Fundraising credits can help lower the amount your family pays toward your player’s baseball program.

Participation is completely voluntary. Families choose whether to participate and how actively they want to fundraise.

Rather than relying on a single fundraiser, The Diamond Fund offers opportunities for families to participate in multiple fundraising campaigns.

The more eligible net proceeds your family generates, the more credit your player can earn toward eligible program expenses.

Fundraising credits that aren’t used during the current season can carry forward to the next season, provided the player remains with 9 Tool National.

Our goal is to help families focus on what matters most: their player’s development, improvement, and opportunities on the baseball field.

Eligible Net Proceeds → Your Player Earns (85%): $500 → $425 • $1,000 → $850 • $2,000 → $1,700 • $3,000 → $2,550 • $5,000 → $4,250. Examples reflect the 85% player fundraising credit calculated from eligible net proceeds after applicable fundraising expenses and processing fees. Credits are limited to eligible player expenses.

One of the ways families can benefit from The Diamond Fund is through our Sponsor a Player Program. This program allows players and families to reach out to local businesses, friends, relatives, and community supporters who want to support an aspiring athlete’s baseball development. Through approved sponsorship opportunities, businesses who support a player can receive advertising and promotional recognition while helping that player pursue their baseball goals.

1. Families introduce potential sponsors to the 9 Tool National Sponsor a Player Program. 2. Sponsors select an available sponsorship level. 3. Businesses receive the advertising or recognition benefits associated with their sponsorship. 4. Once the sponsorship is approved and payment is received, 85% of eligible net proceeds is credited toward the player’s program expenses. It’s an opportunity for local businesses and community members to support aspiring athletes while helping hard-working families reduce the financial commitment of high-level baseball. Sponsor a Player is just one example of the fundraising opportunities we plan to offer through The Diamond Fund throughout the year.

We recognize that every family has different schedules, financial circumstances, and priorities. Fundraising is an opportunity, not an obligation. Families are never required to participate in The Diamond Fund to be part of 9 Tool National. There is no minimum fundraising requirement, and participation does not affect team placement or playing time.

9 Tool National is more than a travel baseball organization. Our mission is to develop complete baseball players through year-round training, measurable progress, advanced technology, experienced instruction, and competitive opportunities. The Diamond Fund is another way we’re working to make that commitment to player development more accessible.

The Diamond Fund fundraising credits are calculated from eligible net proceeds and applied to eligible player program expenses. Credits are not redeemable for cash. Unused credits may carry forward while the player remains enrolled with 9 Tool National. Credits remaining when a player leaves the organization are forfeited, subject to applicable law. Fundraising opportunities, sponsorship approvals, and eligible expenses are determined by 9 Tool National.
