In co-sponsorship with Catalan Tennis Federation and Acell Federation and managed by former Roland Garros winner Sergi Bruguera, 50 people with learning disabilities receive tennis coaching and undergo a life skills programme. They are invited to attend a number of tennis clinics during events such as The Barcelona Open, The Potter Cup Cataluña and the IC Compass Junior Challenge.

The group of special players who usually practice with Sergi Bruguera participated in a clinic at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell 2016. They were joined there by top ATP players, amongst which was Tommy Robredo.
