The Play All 2026 Final Celebration marked the perfect culmination of an intense season of educational and sports activities delivered by Fundación Rafa Nadal and Fundació Tennis Barcelona across various schools in Barcelona.
The Play All project became a reality in 2022 thanks to the partnership with Nike, the main driving force behind the initiative and a strategic partner in its development. Committed to the transformative power of play and sport in childhood and youth, Nike works to make these experiences more accessible, inclusive, and engaging for all.
The end-of-year celebration was designed to recognize and celebrate the journey undertaken throughout the year by participants, educators, and partner organizations, highlighting their commitment, growth, and achievements.
The celebration took place on Friday, June 5th, 2026, at Kinobs (Barcelona), in the afternoon, bringing together all participating groups in a safe and playful environment.
During the afternoon, participants enjoyed a structured programme divided into different phases:
• Activity time: 17:15 to 19:00
• Snack and medal ceremony: 19:00 to 19:30
The venue featured outdoor football pitches, an indoor hall, and a picnic area for the closing moment, where recognition awards were presented.
Cooperative activities, sport and fun
The final celebration was organised through a rotating station system, allowing all groups to take part in different activities adapted to their age and level. All dynamics were designed to promote cooperation, communication and active participation.
Featured activities included:
Cooperative Throwers
A team challenge where coordination was key to launching foam balls using a collective throwing system, focusing on accuracy and strategy against the opposing team.
Totem Ultimate
A fast-paced and strategic game in which teams had to flip as many totems as possible to display their colour before time ran out.
Memory Relays
An activity inspired by the classic memory game, where participants had to remember shapes and numbers in order to find matching pairs while working as a team.
Channel Relay
A cooperative relay circuit featuring different coordination challenges such as cooperative skis, caterpillar movement, and ball transport through channels, where success depended on rhythm and team communication.
Cooperative Tennis
A precision-based challenge where teams had to score balls into a moving basket, with increasing difficulty depending on age group.
Participation and impact of the Play All programme
This year’s edition involved 4 schools:
• Zona Franca
• Vall d’Hebron
• Raval
• Badalona
In total, the final event brought together 122 children and young participants, supported by 18 educators, reaching a total of 140 people involved.
Throughout the year, the Play All programme has worked with diverse groups in terms of age, gender and social background, promoting an inclusive environment where sport becomes a tool for personal and social development.
The Play All Final Celebration is not only the end of a cycle, but also a reflection of the programme’s impact throughout the year: learning, coexistence and shared growth. Each activity, challenge and experience reinforces the project’s main goal: to support children in their development through sport.
