On average, St Helens welcomes 90 youth players every Monday evening at Sidac Social Club run by a number of amazing volunteers who provide a safe yet competitive environment for dart players between 7 - 18 years old.


"Target are one of the biggest brands if not the biggest brand in darts so having them look after us will progress these players and hopefully we can produce even more players for Target in the coming years. The likes of Stephen Bunting, Bradley Brooks, Dave Chisnall, Harry Gregory, Luke Littler, and Eleanor Cairns are just a few to name that have already come from the academy."
