We're an independent community focused roller sports club from Falkirk run by volunteers who welcome all skaters
regardless of experience or ability. We play non-contact roller hockey weekly, hold adult indoor skating sessions from September to July and community social skates to some tunes for all ages. We also
skate outdoors (weather permitting) aiming to head out weekly on Fridays during July and August. We have a variety of routes available around Falkirk which can be adapted depending on the fitness and abilities
of anyone attending.
We are 100% not for profit with every penny being reinvested into what we do, none of our members or committee are remunerated.
Falkirk Wheelers originate from a group of friends who have been together since the 1970s. We were officially constituted in January 2013 when our roller hockey group was formed and since then we become a multi-rollersports group playing most court sports on skates plus we even travelled to London in 2015 to play the English roller soccer team. In case you're interested they won 16-4 😲
We play non-contact roller hockey on Tuesdays all year round from 19:30-21:00 in Bo'Ness Recreation Centre and hold adult indoor skating sessions
in Denny Sports Centre on Fridays from 19:00-20:30 between September and July. We skate outdoors most Friday evenings during summer starting from Falkirk Stadium at 19:30.
All ages are welcome although children must be acompanied by someone over 18.
Please email in advance if you're interested in joining any of the indoor activities as we don't do drop in sessions due to limited hall capacities.
