Legion Darts Academy Joins Target's Elite 1!
The Legion Darts Academy joins the Target Darts family
Target Darts is proud to welcome The Legion Darts Academy to its growing Academy network, an exciting addition that represents not just talent development but a powerful sense of community and purpose within youth darts. A New Academy with a Strong Foundation. Founded in February 2026, The Legion Darts Academy is already making a meaningful impact in Colchester, Essex. Led by Pete Gore, the academy currently supports around 25 young players aged 5–17, providing structured coaching in a welcoming and values-driven environment.
Sessions take place:
Wednesdays: 18:00 – 20:00
Saturdays: 10:00 – 12:00
From the fundamentals of stance, balance, and consistency, to finishing, scoring, and mental maths, players are guided through every aspect of the game. But what truly sets The Legion apart goes far beyond technical ability. More Than Just Darts At its core, The Legion Darts Academy is built on three defining pillars:
Reverence. Honour. Family.
These values shape everything the academy stands for. It’s not tied to a single venue or space—it’s built on people, connection, and shared belief.
The academy fosters:
Respect and sportsmanship, confidence, and personal growth
A strong sense of belonging. Every player, coach, and parent contributes to an environment where young athletes feel supported, valued, and inspired, whether they’re throwing their first dart or chasing elite-level competition.
Joining the Target Darts Academy network marks a significant milestone for The Legion and its members. This partnership opens doors to a clear development pathway, connecting players to a wider system designed to nurture talent and ambition.
“We are incredibly proud to become part of the Target Academy family. This sponsorship marks a significant milestone for the Academy and, most importantly, for every person who walks through our doors.”
“For our young athletes, this is a real and meaningful step forward, opening doors to a structured pathway into professional darts, and connecting them to a network that will support their growth every step of the way.”
“We want every player in our community to know that their dreams are valid, and that the Legion is here to help them chase those dreams with everything we've got.” “This is a proud moment for our academy, and the beginning of something truly exciting. The best is yet to come.”
