Since 2010
Anantapur, India
294 minors each school year
The NETS project is consolidated within the facilities of ASA, of the Vicente Ferrer Foundation, and is promoted among different educational centers in the area thanks to the clinics.
Clinics
The NETS (Nadal Educational Tennis School) project is spreading around Anantapur, thanks to a new initiative that is being developed in educational centers in the area. With the tennis clinics, the NETS team manages to give access to this sport to other minors in the area and promote physical exercise and a healthy life among families.
A tennis clinic consists of technical-tactical training, physical preparation, games and activities in which students learn a new sport.
Volunteers
The team of professionals of the NETS project is made up of trainers and educators. In addition, each year, different students who have grown up in NETS become part of the team as volunteers and pass on their knowledge to the minors we serve, also serving as role models for them. It is a way of closing the circle and giving meaning to all the learning, since these young people become the motor of change for their community.
Wheelchair adapted tennis
Through the adapted wheelchair tennis project, the aim is to continue promoting sport as a fundamental tool to combat discrimination, promote equality and tolerance and achieve the social integration of children with reduced mobility. The continued training of these boys and girls will improve their physical, intellectual, emotional and social development.
Since 2021
