About us

Built by two students who love the game

Founded in 2026 by two university students, SmashIT was built from a shared passion for padel and a vision to create something bigger than just a game.

What started as a simple idea between friends quickly evolved into a community driven by energy, competition, and connection.

With a deep love for the sport and a relentless drive to grow it, SmashIT is about bringing people together, elevating the experience, and building a culture where every match means more than just winning or losing.
