Unicycle Cardiff holds classes in unicycle hockey as numbers grow, they aim to make Cardiff the hub of unicycle sports in the UK<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"

One lesson, one wheel and you will never look back, as local sports club Unicycle Cardiff provide free weekly lessons in a bid to grow their already expanding club. <\/span><\/p>\n

Unicycle Cardiff have been building their numbers from a single team to a competitive club over the last year;offering mixed abilities classes for free every Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

As the clubs title suggests participants will learn to first ride a unicycle before progressing on to playing hockey and other unicycle sports at the same time. \u00a0Classes are offered at 8 pm every Sunday at the House of Sports. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Cardiff Unicycle Hockey team has played at some of the highest levels both in the UK and European leagues. \u00a0Upon their return from the European Championships in 2017 the team has since sought to foster more homegrown talent and local enthusiasm. \u00a0To achieve their aim the team has founded the rapidly growing Unicycle Club.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Marketing officer Lewis Smiles said, \u201cthere is no other sport where your feet don\u2019t touch the ground\u2026 every other sport pales in comparison to unicycle hockey\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The original team consisted of 5 players and the club now sees upwards of twenty attendees each week. <\/span><\/p>\n

The classes are designed for students of all abilities, classes are \u201cinclusive not exclusive\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

Students do not need to have any experience of playing hockey or riding a unicycle before their first lesson. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All equipment is provided by the club.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Each lesson begins with a series of drills which is then followed by a few games of unicycle hockey if players are skilled enough. \u00a0However, there is always space for beginners says Lewis. <\/span><\/p>\n

The club has also recently begun weekly ride outs in the streets and on the tack trails and anyone who is able to ride 100 metres\u00a0<\/span>or more is welcome says Lewis.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
