Skill Rating Session at Smith-Hazel - Wednesday, January 26th and Monday, February 21st.

Because of Martin Luther King's Holiday, the next Skill Rating Session is now scheduled for Wednesday, January 26th.   Sign up below.

These sessions are for players trying for 3.5H and below skill ratings.    The sessions will be held at the Smith-Hazel Recreation Center from 9am-12pm on the date(s) indicated. If you would like to be rated, please click on the sign-up button below.  Enter your name, phone number, and estimated level.  

Everyone being rated is required to take the Aiken Pickleball Rule Quiz (APRQ) located on our website under the Information tab.    Click here to take the quiz. The APRQ takes less than ten minutes to complete and your results are automatically forwarded.

In addition, if a player wants to be rated 3.5 or above, or the rating committed rates them at that level, the player must also  pass the USAP players test with a score of at least 85% for the rating to be confirmed.   Players may take the test as many times as needed to obtain a passing score.  Please forward a screenshot of your results to  [email protected] 

Go to https://usapickleball.org/play/rules-tests/player-test/ to request the test.   The form asks for your USAPA number.  Enter NA if you do not have one.

Once a player has been rated there is a four-month waiting period before they can be rated again.  Players that have an Aiken Pickleball rating and want to move up in their level (i.e., low to high) will only have to play games.  Drills will not be part of the process.

If you are trying for a 4.0 or above rating, contact Mo Garcia ([email protected]) directly to be rated.  Do not use this sign up.

You will be notified of the specific time of your rating a couple of days prior to the rating day.
