Clayton Powell is a young pro pickleball player out of Bend, Oregon who learned the game at age 13 from his grandmother in Sunriver. What started as a casual family activity quickly turned into a full-blown obsession, and by 2021, Powell had turned professional. He competes on the APP Tour across singles, doubles, and mixed doubles, with men's doubles being his favorite format.

Powell is known for his silky soft game around the kitchen, which belies his young age. He practices four to six hours daily and has crisscrossed the country chasing tournament draws, including a runner-up finish at the APP Next Gen event in St. Louis. To make his pro career work, he attends high school online through Baker Web Academy. His stated goal? Become the best player in the world. Given his work ethic and how early he started, nobody's laughing at that ambition.
