Field End Flyers is a not for profit community cycle club that provides cycle coaching for primary school aged children. Our British Cycling qualified coaches run welcoming and inclusive sessions for a wide range of abilities, helping children to become confident cyclists. So if your child has never ridden a bike, or if they want to develop more advanced cycling skills in an inclusive environment then get in touch.
Field End Flyers prides itself on being a community club - run by members of the local community for local children. The club originated in 2009 when a group of parents, passionate about the sport of cycling, started an after school club for children at Field End School. Proving to be a great success, the club then opened to the wider community. The club is British Cycling affiliated and the coaches are British Cycling qualified, with a few very welcome parent helpers. However, just like that original group of parents, they are all volunteers passionate about enabling children to enjoy the sport of cycling.
To ensure the club’s future, we are always on the lookout for new volunteers (including participants in the Duke of Edinburgh award) to help with the running of the club. Moreover, if cycling is your sport and you are keen to inspire the next generation of cyclists, the club has opportunities to sponsor a British Cycling coaching qualification.
