Not entirely true - at my club we've trained tug pilots without gliding experience. It's worth talking to your local club if you're keen - they might be in need of new tug pilots. The environment can be quite challenging though.

However, the OP said he had an SPL (which I'm reading as Sailplane license), so it wouldn't be a problem.
