Open admission for
the Annual Program

Join a program of athletic and academic excellence

Start registration

The Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar , founded by one of the world’s most admired and respected athletes, offers much more than tennis training: it is an excellent environment designed to develop each student’s full potential, both on the court and in the classroom.
