The practice of racket sports still seems to be nonexistent in various Brazilian educational institutions, both formally and informally, and they are not provided for people with special needs. The objective of this work is to offer a pedagogical proposal for experiencing such sports for students with mild intellectual disabilities. The proposal was based on principles such as standardization, socialization and decreased feelings of discrimination. The proposal is made up of items described in the manuscript, beginning with presenting the sport to the students and going on to carrying out various activities needed for proficiency. We conclude that the pedagogical proposal is a means to bring together racquet sports and students with intellectual disabilities, and this is based on the prerogatives of Sport Pedagogy.
