The Rafael Nadal Academy is world-renowned, and many parents strive to provide a great foundation for their children by enrolling in this academy. Several talents have already emerged from this academy, such as Ivan Ivanov and Alex Eala, who showed brilliant performances in the junior competition.
However, some wonder what the Nadal Academy entails and how much it really costs to attend the Spanish tennis player's academy.
Back in 2016, Nadal decided to open the academy, wanting to give young people a chance to develop, with the desire to equally create well-known names on the tennis scene.
It can be said that Rafa has done a great job, considering that two junior champions have already graduated from this academy, and it seems that a few more of them could open their way to professional waters.
It consists of a total of 45 courts, a fitness center and a lot of facilities that you don't have at other academies. A total of 30 coaches work in the academy, and among them are mostly well-known faces of this sport.
One of Rafa Nadal Academy's former coaches, Francesco Mendo, openly said in a press conference that the annual program costs approximately $60,000, while the weekly program starts at $2,000.
Although Mendo pointed out that he is aware that this is a serious figure, he added that in the end it is really worth giving such money considering the conditions it provides.
He believes that this is not just about tennis, but that the children get experience and education and that many paths for the future open up for them.
Educational institution
Rafa Nadal, as a world-famous name, is certainly the reason why many parents decide to give their children such a great chance, helping them develop properly and build serious careers.
However, this is not just about success in professional waters. Nadal's goal is also to raise and educate new generations, and to do everything possible to make new generations love this sport.
We'll see how many talents they will produce in the future and how important a figure Rafa will be in this story.
