Just a friendly reminder that drop in play hours are strictly for drop in play and are not for personal groups to meet and play on a specific court. Drop in play hours are from 8:45 - 11 AM, with skill level/court designation starting at 9:45 - 11 AM. During the skill designation period, courts 1-3 are for new players up to a 3.0 rating, with court 3 designated for beginners, and courts 4-6 are for skill levels 3.5 and higher.

On Sunday, December 7, 2025, members of the Aiken Area Pickleball League joined the City of Aiken Parade. The League Leadership Team and other participants created a festive float with a Christmas Pickleball theme, spreading Pickleball cheer to everyone watching. Their involvement was recognized with a thank-you note from the Aiken Downtown Development Association.  

Thank You for Being Part of the 2025 Downtown Aiken Christmas Parade!

Good morning,

On behalf of the Aiken Downtown Development Association, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for participating in the 2025 Downtown Aiken Christmas Parade. Your enthusiasm, creativity, and holiday spirit helped make this year’s parade a truly special celebration for our entire community.

We know it takes time and effort to prepare your entry, gather your group, and join us on parade day, and we are so grateful for your commitment. The joy you brought to the streets of Downtown Aiken was felt by everyone who came out to watch.

Thank you again for being part of this cherished Aiken tradition. We hope you had a wonderful experience and that you will join us again next year!

If you need help with anything, send an email to aikenpickleballinc@gmail.com and someone will get back with you.  We can help you with making and editing court reservations or adding your name to the "Looking for games" list, among other things.   What we cannot tell you is the access code.  That is for our use only.  After 8 pm Wednesday evening, the Sign-up Genius is locked down, requiring an access code while the new time slots for the following week are being added.  The signupgenius is then unlocked after 8 am Thursday morning and an access code is no longer required.  But if you need help with anything else send an email to aikenpickleballinc@gmail.com and one of us will get back to you.  

 

 

Players Rating Session - Contact Harve Mobley to schedule an individual rating appointment - pbharve333@gmail.com.

 

 

Please do not cross over another court while play is in process.  This applies if you are moving on or trying to retrieve your stray ball.  Let the players on their court return your Pickles.   Sneaking behind them distracts the players facing you.  Thanks.

 

 

There will be drop-in-play mixed level at Gregg Park on Friday evenings starting in September from 530-745pm.
