MADRID, 8 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Canary Islands Paralympic Relay project has launched a new programme, promoted by the Spanish Paralympic Committee (CPE) and with the collaboration of the DISA Foundation, to provide sports equipment for people with disabilities to the Tennis School of the Canary Islands Federation.
In this way, the Canary Islands Paralympic Relay continues to work on various initiatives so that no child with a disability on the islands is left without practicing sport and to promote inclusion and equal opportunities.
Thus, on the Carla Suárez slopes, which is where the school carries out its activity, people with and without disabilities will share facilities and sports discipline. At this time, a total of 10 people with physical disabilities come twice a week to train at this complex, recently rehabilitated by the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council, according to the CPE in a press release.
In addition, the Canary Islands Federation has signed an agreement with the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation and the Bepro Foundation for the training of technicians, since the highest organization of Canarian tennis is betting on it, including a chair tennis course planned for End of the year.
In this way, the technicians will have two specific chairs that will be focused on those children who are beginning to form a youth pool for this sport on the islands, an initiative that will be supported by the work of the Paralympic Relay, which will carry out a series of training sessions in schools for the recruitment of young people.
