Since turning pro in 2019, Callie Smith has quickly built a name for herself as an impressive force on-court and someone hungry for victory. She plays all events - gender doubles, mixed doubles, and singles, on tour. Smith is a former Division 1 tennis player who played for the University of Utah. When not competing, she regularly coaches clinics, pickleball vacations, and Nike pickleball camps. She is also a part owner of The Kitchen Indoor Pickleball Courts with multiple locations around the country.
Smith is the mother of two children and wife to Kyle Smith. Known for her big smile and sweet personality, Smith wears a signature long "Callie braid" on-court that has earned her the nickname of “Rapunzel.” She releases instructional pickleball content and workout videos on a regular basis on YouTube and social media that showcase her intense physical training as a pro athlete and knowledge of the sport. Smith also enjoys tennis, working out, anything outdoors, reading, eating chocolate, cooking, baking, singing, watching movies, playing piano, and being with family.
