We're a friendly inline and roller skating club from Falkirk who welcome all skaters regardless of experience or ability. We play non-contact roller hockey weekly and run adult indoor skating sessions from September to July. During July and August we skate outdoors (weather permitting) aiming to head out weekly. We have a variety of routes available around Falkirk which can be adapted depending on the fitness and abilities of anyone attending.
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.

Our group are socially aware - any indoor classes are held in community centres and halls to do what we can for our community. In addition, we've raised a lot of money for various charitable causes over the years including UNICEF, Canine Partners, Deaf Blind Scotland, the Forth Hedgehog Hospital and Seamab at The Great Scottish Skate 2019.
