Nadal founded the Rafa Nadal Foundation in 2008 and opened his first tennis school, the Nadal Educational Tennis School, in the
Anantapur Sports Village in India in 2010. The Rafa Nadal Academy in Manacor broke ground in November 2014. Operations began in June 2016 and an opening ceremony was held on 19 October 2016. At its opening, the academy was led by
Toni Nadal (who stepped away from coaching his nephew the following year) and Nadal's longtime agent
Carlos Costa. Nadal's new coach, former
world Carlos Moyá, was the technical director. The campus in Manacor has 23
hard courts (19 outdoor, 4 indoor), 20
clay courts (13 outdoor, 7 semi-indoor), 12
padel courts (6 outdoor, 6 indoor), two
squash courts, a
football pitch, and two swimming pools (outdoor and indoor). There are also a
sports medicine facility and an
international school, the Rafa Nadal International School, for 10- to 18-year-olds. ==Notable people==
