The junior padel club directory for families
Families looking for where to sign their children up for padel find the clubs in their area on SmashPlay, with their services, facilities and contact details. If your club is on SmashPlay, they find you.
Official validation of your students' padel level
Families say their child trains at your padel club. You officially validate their level with the SmashPlay methodology, and their profile then shows the verified level, visible in the app to families, clubs and organisers.
Reach families even if you don't have a junior padel academy
Families using SmashPlay look for padel clubs: where they are, what services they offer, how to get in touch. Even without a specific junior padel programme, families find you and can hire your courts to play.
New revenue streams for your padel club
Assessment days, junior padel tournaments and court bookings. Design your own calendar and timetable to show families the courts available.
Automated junior padel americanas: forget paper and Excel
Running a junior padel americana has traditionally meant Excel sheets, papers with names, calls from families and uneven matches that leave children frustrated. SmashPlay automates the whole process of your club's junior padel americanas and tournaments.
Automatic draws
The MATCH_SCORE algorithm pairs players by level and assigns courts. Evenly matched games from the first round, without lifting a finger.
Link for your assistants
Invite one or more assistants with a personal link or a QR code. From their phone they enter results and deal with issues live. No account, no installs. Access expires when the event ends.
Real-time results
Each team confirms "we won" or "we lost" from their phone. If they match, the round moves on by itself. If there's a conflict, the club decides.
Families taking part, not asking questions
Each family sees their court, partner, opponent and the standings on their phone. The calls to the club asking "what happens now?" disappear.
Automatic badges and ranking
With a paid plan, at the end of each tournament or americana the players add points to their SmashPlay ranking, the podium pairs earn their champion, runner-up or podium badge, and every event played counts towards the career badges. The badges stay on the child's profile.
Urgent call-outs
Short of players at the last minute? Mark what you need (a level, a category or a new court) and SmashPlay alerts families in the province who have last-minute alerts turned on and have children who fit your event, which is also highlighted in the events list.
Waiting list
Turn it on when you create the tournament or americana. When the event is full, families join in order of arrival. If someone drops out, SmashPlay lets the first family know and holds the place for them for 12 hours (2 if there's less than a day before closing); if they don't confirm it, it moves on to the next one. While families are waiting, places that free up go to them: neither normal registration nor the last-minute call-out opens. You see who is waiting and in what order (first name and initial of each player) and you can move on to the next one without waiting for the deadline. The list closes by itself when registration closes or when the draws are generated.
While your competitors are still using pen and paper, you organise americanas in minutes and families come back every month.
On the Free plan, your first 3 paid events carry no commission. After that, SmashPlay only charges a commission on what you collect through the app: entries and court bookings. Your academy fees carry no commission.
Validate your junior students' padel level · Gain recognition on SmashPlay
When a family says their child trains at your padel club, you get an alert in your dashboard. You validate their level with the SmashPlay methodology: each criterion is scored from 1 to 5, with a description for each score, and the result gives their SmashPlay level. The level is then verified on the child's card, as a reference for other clubs and organisers.
Two modes · each criterion from 1 to 5
Beginner
Technique, control and consistency, and tactics
Competition
Technique, control and consistency, tactics, competition and fitness
Your own methodology
With the Pro plan, you can adapt the methodology to your academy's
Badges for your club
Every player you assess on SmashPlay counts once, whether you validate their level or assess them at your academy. Families see your badge when choosing a club: in the directory, next to your logo, and on your club's listing. And you can download it to put it on your website and social media.

Multiply your padel club's income: recruitment, assessment and bookings
Three exclusive club features that make your padel facility pay without touching your current adult model. Assessment days, young player search and court bookings for junior matches.
Assessment Days
Assessment days: meet new players at your club
Only clubs can create SmashPlay Assessment Days. You open a day at your padel club, families sign up their children (whether they're your students or not), pay a small fee and your coaching team officially assesses their padel level during the session.
- Direct income: you collect each day's entry fee through the app, with Stripe
- Natural recruitment: families get to know your club, courts and coaches first-hand
- Effortless visibility: the event is announced to families in your area with alerts turned on
Young player search
Looking for students for your junior padel academy? Find them yourself
SmashPlay includes a search for children active in junior padel, filtered by province, town, category, level and playing position. You filter, see the results and choose which families to contact. From there you send direct invitations to recruit new students to your padel club.
- Invitation to a tournament or americana at your club
- Entry to a SmashPlay Assessment Day
- Free trial class at your academy
Direct, secure communication, strict GDPR. Your club only sees the adult's email or phone number if the family allows it.
Court bookings
Court bookings for junior padel matches: every empty hour is money
When adults aren't available, children are. SmashPlay turns that timing mismatch into a new source of income for your padel club: families book your courts for junior padel matches, without touching your current adult model, with no technical integrations and no risk.
- Timetables and prices you can edit at any time from the dashboard
- Last-minute highlight: triple visibility in the app for last-minute bookings
- Custom requests: you receive requests for unpublished times and accept or make a counter-offer
- Protective policy: if a family cancels, SmashPlay tries to resell the place before you lose the income

What clubs ask us most
How much does SmashPlay cost for my padel club?
Claiming your club's listing and validating your students' levels is free. On the Free plan, your first 3 paid events carry no commission; from the fourth, SmashPlay charges a commission on what you collect through the app. Court bookings carry a commission from the first one. Payments are made through the app, with Stripe. Your academy fees carry no commission. The Free plan has no monthly fee.
Is my padel club already in the SmashPlay directory?
We have more than 2,000 padel clubs from all over Spain visible in the directory with their public details (address, phone, services). When you sign up as a club, if yours is in the database we detect it automatically when you enter the name and city, and give you access to the club dashboard with the details already filled in.
What if my club isn't in the database?
No problem. You just fill in the sign-up form with the club's basic details (name, city, address, courts) and you can complete the rest from your dashboard at any time. Your club will appear in the app within a few minutes.
Who validates children's junior padel level?
A verified club: the club where the child trains or the club running an Assessment Day they are registered for, up to 7 days after the Assessment Day. The family cannot give itself the verified level, and the level is shown with the name of the club that validated it. Validation uses the SmashPlay methodology, in two modes (Beginner, with 3 criteria, and Competition, with 5), with each criterion scored from 1 to 5. This gives you full control over the quality of your padel academy's data and avoids self-declared levels that lead to uneven matches.
How does SmashPlay help me make money from empty padel courts?
The hours that are empty for adults (school-day afternoons, school holidays, winter weekends) match the hours when children are free to play padel. You set which slots are open for booking from your club dashboard, set peak and off-peak prices, and SmashPlay shows the available courts to families in your area.
Does SmashPlay replace my current management system?
No. SmashPlay is complementary: it focuses exclusively on junior padel (up to Júnior category), with a family approach validated by the club. You can keep your current system for adults and use SmashPlay just for your junior academy and recruiting new families.
