Fundación Rafa Nadal acknowledges the vital role that parents play in supporting their children both on and off the court. Families of youngsters attending one of the three Rafa Nadal Foundation Centres – in Palma, Madrid and Valencia – are given the tools to establish a positive home environment, to supplement the work being done on campus.

These young people and their families receive comprehensive support in three key areas: education, sport and psychosocial support.
