Saint PaulUrban Tennis
More than a Game
Tennis is more than a game for the players and staff of Saint Paul Urban Tennis (SPUT).
SPUT uses sports to inspire community. For many of the students, workers and trainers, tennis provides an avenue for self-development, discovery and leadership.
“It’s not just about tennis, it’s about becoming better human beings and contributing to society.”
Song Thao, former SPUT executive director
