Work for SPUT
NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR SUMMER COACHES
This year, we’ll serve over 3,000 kids through our programs, and are looking for qualified individuals that want to make a difference in the lives of young people to get involved as summer coaches.
The 2012 Junior Program runs from June 18 through July 27 with an extended two week session from July 30 to August 10. Class times for the six week program are from 8:15 am through 1:00 pm with extended hours at four sites. There are other opportunities to pick up more hours through our Outreach Programs, tournaments, 12U Play Days, and Adult Lessons.
We will be at 27 sites this summer. Click here for a map of the locations.
Applicant Selection Process:
Please submit your application as soon as possible as positions are limited. We prefer to get all applications by April 2nd but will review submissions until all positions have been filled. We need an applicant profile form from all new and returning coaches. All new coaches must participate in a face to face interview that may include an on-court evaluation. Interviews will take place in April and May. We will be looking for coaches who show enthusiasm for working with youth and a passion for the sport of tennis.
We will contact you by mid-April if you are selected to participate in an interview. All correspondence will be sent to the email provided in your Applicant Profile. Please note that we rarely hire anyone that has not completed their junior year in high school, however you may volunteer as an unpaid assistant coach.
In 2011, we used the following motto for SPUT coaches and will be looking for these attributes in potential new team members. We want our staff to be willing to “be one of the kids” so that everyone has a blast this summer.
Smile all of the time – friendly, friendly, friendly
Prompt - early is on-time; on-time is late
Ultra Energetic – with a positive attitude and sense of humor
Terrific Role Model – presents oneself as a role model for the kids

Participation as a Volunteer
Non-Profit organizations rely on the work of dedicated volunteers that believe in the mission to support the work they do. Saint Paul Urban is no different and has various volunteer needs for events, youth programming and organizational leadership. If you want to give to SPUT in a volunteer capacity, please contact us so that we can find the right fit for you.
