The First Baptist Church (FBC) located at 120 Chesterfield St N, in downtown Aiken, is now offering drop-in pickleball play from 2 - 5 pm, Mondays and Fridays. They have two courts located in their main gymnasium. The gym has a vinyl floor which gives a true bounce, and just takes a little while to get used to.
There are usually 10-12 players just from FBC. As almost everyone at FBC is new to pickleball, Jo Whitson has volunteered to introduce them the game, and is usually there when the gym is open for play. Now that FBC is on our calendar, the word has gotten out, and last Friday was the first time others came to play. There is plenty of free parking available and donations are only $2.
