One of @Padel's key initiatives in promoting inclusivity is through outreach programs aimed at underserved communities. By partnering with local organizations and community centers, @Padel organizes Padel clinics and events tailored to individuals who may not have had previous exposure to the sport. These initiatives not only introduce Padel to new audiences but also foster a sense of belonging and community among participants.
"We're passionate about reaching out to communities that may not have easy access to Padel facilities," explains Longo. "Through our outreach programs, we aim to provide individuals with the opportunity to try Padel, discover its benefits, and ultimately, become part of the Padel community."
In addition to outreach programs, @Padel is dedicated to making Padel more accessible by advocating for the construction of Padel courts in public spaces and recreational facilities. By collaborating with local governments and stakeholders, @Padel works to identify opportunities for the development of Padel infrastructure in communities where the sport is still emerging.

Furthermore, @Padel is committed to providing resources and support to individuals with disabilities who wish to participate in Padel. Through adaptive equipment and specialized coaching programs, @Padel ensures that individuals with disabilities can enjoy the sport in a safe and inclusive environment.
