Saint Paul Urban Tennis
Life Skills Program
Life Skills training is a very, very important component of the Saint Paul Urban Tennis program.  Each and every day, the young athletes are exposed to a variety of "life skills".  These skills are woven into the fabric of each lesson and happen at all of the 30+ sites.  Below is a brief outline of the Life Skills that are delivered.
SPUT is using the book by Dr. Bruce Jackson for our outline and we have added a health component to our life skills as well.
