Le  Castellet  continues its sporting development with the arrival of a brand new complex dedicated to padel. Located near the  Paul Ricard Circuit , the  Smash Padel  will officially open its doors  same day 18 October 2025 , after one  Open House  organized the day before,  Friday 17 October , to allow the public to discover in preview the facilities of this place resolutely focused on conviviality and sport.

Four enthusiasts behind the project

Behind this ambitious project are four partners driven by the same passion for padel.
 Mike Guedj , a former tennis player ranked 350th in padel, is at the head of the club. He has surrounded himself with  Laurent Briançon , recreational player and trade professional, Edouard Le Scanff , real estate developer and player ranked 1387th, and  Mickaël Hadjedj , financial director. Together, they wanted to create a place that reflected them: sporty, warm and unifying.

A journey strewn with obstacles

The creation of the complex was not easy. Between the  land search , the  administrative authorizations  and the  declaration of sporting activity , the stages were long.
“It’s a real obstacle course, but we remain driven by passion,” the founders say. “We work in an industry where people come to relax, which makes the experience even more rewarding.”

The founders are banking on a family-friendly, accessible atmosphere. "We want people to come and play, but also to stay, to share a moment over coffee, a meal, an OM match, or a game of cards," they explain.
The club will offer  tournaments, training courses, themed evenings , and  individual courses  supervised by two coaches. Ultimately, a  padel school  could see the light of day depending on demand.

A modern and versatile complex

With  seven latest generation indoor courts including  a panoramic central court with stands , Smash Padel stands out as a  future reference center in the Var .
The club is not limited to the game: it also includes  relaxation areas ,  a restaurant ,  a meeting room for seminars  and even  a pétanque court .
The goal is clear: to make Smash Padel un  real place of life , where sport mixes with the pleasure of getting together.
