Big Fish Academy Joins Target's Elite 1!
Big Fish Academy Joins the Target Darts Academy Family
Target Darts is proud to announce that Big Fish Academy has officially joined the growing Target Darts Academy network.
Based at Chorleywood Club in Rickmansworth, Big Fish Academy has been created to provide young players with a supportive, engaging, and professional environment where they can develop both their darts skills and passion for the sport.
Led by Michael East and Jake Selveraja, the academy caters for players aged 7–18, welcoming everyone from complete beginners to aspiring tournament players. Sessions take place every Wednesday from 6 pm–9 pm, with age groups split into separate sessions to ensure players receive the best possible coaching experience.
The academy focuses on expert coaching, mentoring, and development through a wide range of games and practice formats designed to sharpen technique, improve consistency, and build confidence on the oche.
What makes Big Fish Academy stand out is its strong emphasis on creating a nurturing and inclusive environment for young darts enthusiasts. The academy’s mission is not only to improve players’ abilities, but also to inspire the next generation to enjoy and stay involved in the sport.
Before officially launching in June, Big Fish Academy has already made a huge impression locally through two successful showcase events.
Speaking about the new partnership with Target Darts, Academy Lead Michael East said:
“We are super excited to be joining the Target family!
When Jake and I decided to start a local darts academy, it was hugely important for us to align with a leading brand in the sport. We wanted to ensure we could offer the best possible experience, along with real opportunities, to every child who joins our academy.
After speaking with Sean and learning that both his vision and Target’s values perfectly matched our own, it became a very easy decision for us to become a newly affiliated academy.
We can’t wait to get started and see what the future holds!”
Everyone at Target Darts is excited to welcome Big Fish Academy to the Target Darts Academy programme and looks forward to supporting the academy as it continues to grow.
