Birmingham Wheels Roller Speed Club (BWRSC) is the go-to spot for anyone passionate about inline and roller speed skating. Whether you’re just starting or you’re a pro, the club has something for everyone, with coaching from national stars like Vincent Henry and Josh Fry.
They train on the former 400m athletics track at the iconic Wheels Park, renowned for its smooth surface, is ideal for those speed sessions.
Aside from that, the club regularly hosts races, including sprints, time trials, and relays, along with open RAT races, just £3 for non-members. It also stages major events such as the Keith Lee Boot and Venus Cup, both of which are highly anticipated competitions.
I attended one of those events and was truly impressed by the level of competition. With chip timing and lap boards, every race felt incredibly professional.
Pro Tip:
Be sure to stay after training, as experienced skaters often share impromptu technique drills or race stories that you won’t find in any manual. It’s one of the best ways to improve your skills and feel like part of the community.

Don’t forget to take a breather near the DJ booth between laps. It’s the unofficial heart of the rink where you can catch the vibe shift, spot the fun skate battles, and maybe even request your favourite song to glide to.
