Welcome to Parkinson Padel Open 2026
AN INTERNATIONAL PADEL TOURNAMENT FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH PARKINSON'S
Welcome to the Official Padel Tournament for People Living with Parkinson’s Disease
This website serves as the central platform for our annual padel tournament dedicated to individuals affected by Parkinson’s disease. The event is established to promote physical activity, social connection, and inclusion through sport.
The tournament provides a unique opportunity for participants to engage in an accessible and motivating form of exercise that supports both physical and mental well-being. Padel, known for its combination of movement, coordination, and teamwork, offers an ideal setting for maintaining an active lifestyle while fostering enjoyment and camaraderie.
Beyond the matches, the event emphasizes community and shared experiences. Participants, relatives, and supporters are invited to take part in a weekend that highlights collaboration, fellowship, and the Danish concept of hygge—a sense of comfort and belonging that extends beyond the court.
This website contains practical information about the tournament, including the event schedule, registration details, and guidelines for participants.
The tournament stands as a testament to what can be achieved when sport and social engagement come together for a meaningful cause.
We look forward to welcoming all players, volunteers, and supporters to an event that celebrates movement, unity, and the strength of community.
