  • Adapted padel training will be implemented in Spanish clubs.
  • The creation of a National School of Initiation to Adapted Padel at the Paraplejicos Hospital in Toledo is also planned.
  • The creation of a National Circuit of inclusive tournaments, a National Ranking and the organization of the National Master during the Absolute Championship of Spain are on the agenda.
  • Specific adapted padel courses will be given within the federation itself.
