Sports at Formby Village Sports Club

Formby Village Sports Club are a not-for-profit community sports club that is located in the heart of Formby Village. The club has served the local community for over 100 years, and operates tennis, bowls, table tennis and snooker facilities - as well as supporting local groups such as the U3A (Third Age University). We are delighted to be adding a Padel section in 2024!

Bowls

Our Crown Bowls Green is the envy of local bowling clubs, with over 50 bowlers currently members at Formby Village Bowling Club. We are committed to providing a safe environment in which players of all ages can enjoy a range of social and competitive activities.

FVBC are always ready to welcome new members of any standard, from beginners to the highly experienced. Beginners will find willing helpers to guide them through the rules and techniques and we now have our own British Crown Bowling Association qualified coach.


Snooker

Formby Village Snooker two full-size snooker tables maintained to a high standard and available for free use by members of the snooker section. The Neville Suite, named after one of long serving members, is open most days from 9 am to 10 pm.

Social snooker takes place most days allowing members, whatever their ability, to take part in a friendly environment. Help is available for beginners. The Neville Suite is in Beauford Hall, which is accessed through the car park of Holy Trinity Church.


Table Tennis

Formby Village Table Tennis was formed in the 1950’s by John Bagot who at the time was a Tennis member. Initially the club played in the Bowls Pavilion and from that early time it gradually grew in both members and competition success.Over the years the club has enjoyed considerable success in the League and have won the First division quite a few times.

The club has had a number of quality players over the years including an English international and one of current members is vice chairman of Table Tennis England. The club has a thriving social section which meets on weekday mornings, which is ideal for beginners. Competition players are very welcome to join too of course!


Padel

In March 2024 we were granted planning permission to add a Padel Tennis Court to our club. We're excited to bring this fast-growing sport to Sefton and hope to have the court open for play in 2024.
