Following the successful launch of its state-of-the-art six-court facility in Cardiff this August, Smash Padel has announced the full rollout of Nettla, a next-generation booking and club management app, across all current and future locations.
This strategic transition marks a significant milestone in Smash Padel’s mission to lead the UK padel industry in innovation, accessibility, and operational excellence.
“Nettla has been a game-changer at our Cardiff site,” said Rupert Taylor, CEO of Smash Padel. “Our goal is to provide an exceptional player experience both on and off the court. By standardising our digital platform across all clubs, we’re making it easier than ever for players to discover, book, and enjoy padel in a way that fits into their lives. The response from the Cardiff community has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re excited to roll this out to all Smash centres.”
Nettla is an all-in-one management platform purpose-built for padel clubs. From intuitive court booking and player matchmaking to seamless in-app communication, the platform offers a fully integrated experience for both players and club operators. The app’s clean, user-focused interface significantly reduces friction in the booking journey while boosting player engagement and retention.
Developed by a team with experience behind well-known companies such as MATCHi, ClassPass, Forza Football, Jennis, and LEGO, Nettla empowers clubs to streamline operations and unlock scalable growth.
“Padel clubs are growing fast, but they often struggle with disjointed systems and outdated tools” said Freddie, CEO of Nettla. “We built Nettla to change that, giving club operators the intelligent infrastructure they need to serve players better and scale smarter.”
The migration to Nettla has already been completed at Smash Padel Whitstable, with Mid Sussex, Bicester, and Oxford currently in progress. All future locations, including upcoming venues at Queen’s College, Taunton, and Eltham College, will launch on the Nettla platform.
This digital transformation initiative is part of Smash Padel’s broader vision to elevate the standard of padel across the UK. By embracing smart technology and prioritising customer experience, Smash aims to foster stronger communities and grow the game for everyone.
