Swindon Flames Skater Hockey Club are celebrating 20 years since their formation. The club has just finished another successful season, with teams playing in age groups from Pee-wee (age 6 -12) , Youth (under 14) to Junior (under 16). Junior team members Ethan Easton, Reed Sayers, Edward and Alexander Quant were selected to play for team GB this year. The Pee-wee team finished 2nd in the League, and a creditable third in the National Finals with only 6 players. In 2015 the Youth team were National Champions, and this season had four players and a coach represented on the league’s Dream Team.
Swindon Flames is a friendly club, always welcoming new players, even those who have never skated before or who want to try the sport for the first time. Roller hockey is a fast sport with many similarities to ice hockey, played with a ball on in-line skates, in mixed teams of boys and girls. The players train every Saturday morning (10-12am) at the Haydon Centre, Thamesdown Drive, and costs from £5.00 a week.
The team is currently looking for new players in all age groups, and hope to get an adult team ready for the new season, which starts in April. So if you are looking for a new sport, want to improve your fitness and make new friends then why not give it a try? First week of training is free.
