The project promotes the involvement of ALL in sports, regardless of their condition.
The Academia Desportiva Inclusiva do Porto, ADIP, was founded by Occupational Therapist Miguel Fleming, born in Leça da Palmeira. Miguel played Basketball in GDBL for 15 years, representing the club at the highest level with several presences in national finals. It's also in Leça's beach that he developed an enormous taste and respect for the sea, practicing bodyboard and surf.
Professionally, he has 8 years of experience in the area of occupational therapy, in different places, highlighting the Somos Nós Association, where he promotes the autonomy and independence of young people with intellectual disabilities, as well as the Equiterapêutica Association of Porto and Matosinhos, based in the Equestrian Center of Leça.
Miguel's passion for sports and occupational therapy motivated the birth of ADIP, a project that promotes the involvement of ALL in sports, regardless of their condition.
ADIP has a methodology based on 3 pillars: the occupational therapist, the professional coach and the group of athletes. The 3 pillars have a fundamental role in the development of different motor, cognitive and social skills.
The academy aims to distinguish itself through its social contribution in the creation of adapted sports opportunities. On July 9, it debuted with its first event, the "Open Day - Adapted Padel", in partnership with Top-padel Industrial.
On this long-awaited day, the 23 participants had their first contact with the adapted padel sport that provided an afternoon full of good moments. It was, without a doubt, a very special day for all present and that will remain in everyone's memory.
This event was marked by the announcement of the opening of Adapted Padel classes, starting September 2022. These classes will take place at the Top-padel Industrial, on Wednesdays, from 5pm to 6pm, with the future possibility of opening more classes.
ADIP has a multidisciplinary team that is ready to receive all athletes who want to have fun, learn, and play padel.
Registrations are open and ADIP will be waiting for ALL!
