About
Saint Paul Urban Tennis Youth Programs offers youth tennis lessons, summer camps, junior team tennis, and the Warrior Leadership Academy, along with academic summer camps and community outreach programs. The program also runs the All-City Tournament, where every player is guaranteed at least two matches, and hosts the SPUT Summer Carnival. Additional activities connected to the broader organization include adult lessons and leagues, the Employment PLUS (EP) program, and local high school matches.
• Ages: 8–18 years old
• Schedule: Options include six one-hour lessons in the spring youth lesson program, a 6-week summer program, and a week-long half-day camp
• Price: $5/month provides equipment for one program site; $10/month supports a youth to play in a 6-week summer program; $15/month helps provide leadership development for youth coaches; $20/month helps maintain courts, equipment, and safe play spaces; $25/month supports a youth to join in a week-long half-day camp
The All-City Tournament schedule includes singles on July 18 for 8U, 10U, and 12U, singles on July 19 for 14U and 18U, and doubles on July 25 for 18U, with all divisions checking in at 8:30am and matches starting at 9:00am. Office hours are Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm, and Eastview Rec Center’s open gym hours are Monday to Friday from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. Eastview is the home to the SPUT Summer Carnival, the All-City Tournament, and many camps and lessons, and has seven tennis courts that are open to the public when lessons or local high school matches are not running.
The mission of Saint Paul Urban Tennis is that Rally Partners ensure that every young person in Saint Paul has access to tennis, mentorship, and community. The organization provides 80+ seasonal and part-time jobs each year for youth coaches and Employment PLUS students, invests over $200,000 back into the community through employment, scholarships, and financial assistance, and serves over 2,000 youth annually through tennis lessons, academic summer camps, and community outreach programs. The SPUT Store operates as part of the Employment PLUS program, where students create products, set prices, handle marketing, and track profits, and proceeds from the store fund other Employment PLUS initiatives.
Parent and participant feedback includes comments from a SPUT parent who says the coaches are “wonderful mentors” and that the connections their kids have made with coaches are “amazing.” Another parent reports that their family returns year after year because Saint Paul Urban Tennis works with all Saint Paul youth, has accessible and affordable programming, and offers a curriculum that includes strength, fortitude, integrity, and fun. Coaches and alumni describe SPUT as an important experience, with one coach sharing that working for SPUT was a great opportunity to grow as an individual, and an alumnus stating that they would not be where they are today without Saint Paul Urban Tennis.
