Join us in congratulating our local college team USC Aiken Polo Club and former AYP’ers Summer Kneece and Brianna Jordan for their win in the Division 1 Quarterfinals against SMU 24-15!! Way to go, ladies 🎉🎉🎉🎉

It’s time to touch some grass! Aiken Polo Club starting spring season practices with a few of our AYP kids on the field 🔥🎉

What do the players and their families do when they aren’t playing polo? Yesterday, it was all about the hunt! AYP and many other polo groups and players joined the Aiken Hounds for their weekly hunt. Everyone had a good time!

Congratulations to AYP Open Blue team member Denny Martinez for his well-deserved All Star ⭐️ award for this year’s Southeast Regional Interscholastic tournament! This is Dennys last year to play, he will be missed.

THIS WEEKEND! AYP Open Blue (Denny, Shane & Marek) and AYP Open White (Whitten, Nika, Sallie & Bee) travel to Garrison Forest School in Maryland to compete in the Interscholastic regionals!

Join us in wishing all of them best of luck and most importantly, a great time. 🍀💪🏼🎉🔥💙🤍

CONGRATULATIONS to Aiken Youth Polo Open White on their Southeast Region Preliminary win! They came back after a tough loss yesterday to win on net goals. We are so proud of their “never give up” attitude.

Whitten Greene and Nika Piper took home MVP…and both Sallie and Bee Dollens were huge contributors, each scoring goals.

We are so grateful to teams Starr Creek and Starr Creek Mt. Pisgah for making their way out to Aiken this weekend. Everyone played really well.

As always, huge thanks to Coach Tiger (and assistant Summer!) for everything.
