The world has been experiencing a pandemic period caused by COVID-19 since March 2020. Many sporting events were suspended or canceled which interfered with the athletes' lives. Athletes with disabilities, depending on the pathology profile, may be more susceptible to major complications from COVID-19 infection. Thus, the entire family and club structure must adopt strategies to prevent the contagion that permeates social isolation and information about returning to training.
