SPUT annually provides Summer tennis instruction to several thousand kids throughout the inner-city neighborhoods of St. Paul. Tennis is a truly unique activity that is easily accessible, affordable, fun, promotes friendships, provides exercise; and, in the hands of skilled instructors, can be a conduit to promote and enhance life skills. SPUT kids learn how to play and compete with emphasis on having a positive attitude, trying one's best, and demonstrating uncompromising sportsmanship.

Although frequently praised for its organization and outstanding successes with the kids, SPUT is basically a Summer Program, with no dedicated indoor facility. How totally awesome it would be if the City of St. Paul could offer a year-around, first-class, indoor Recreational and Tennis Center; with SPUT then able to provide its tennis and life-skills program all year long! It's for the Kids!
