The Fetterman Training Center is a multi-use indoor facility that is used by all Toledo varsity sports, as well as by club, intramural and community teams. The facility features a 100-yard long practice Field Turf surface that can be used by football, soccer, baseball, softball and other sports. At its peak, the practice field is 65 feet high, and includes fixed goal posts and a game scoreboard.

Another major part of the Fetterman Training Center is a regulation-sized basketball/volleyball practice court, located in a separate enclosed area between Savage Arena and the indoor practice field. The court has two portable baskets, four side-wall baskets and a game scoreboard. The court is used principally for basketball and volleyball practices, but is also used for other activities.

The Fetterman Training Center also includes:
                • The Rocket Golf Performance Center, a 3,500 square-foot facility located on the lower level below the basketball practice court that offers a chipping and putting area, driving cages and a swing analysis center.
                • Six sprinting lanes with a long jump pit alongside the 100-yard practice field.
                • A 90-foot sand sprinting track for jumps training.
                • Four locker rooms, including locker rooms for men’s and women’s golf, as well as visiting team locker rooms for Savage Arena events.
                • Elevated viewing areas for filming and coaching.
