SUDBURY YOUTH DARTS ACADEMY
Sudbury Youth Darts Academy was the first academy to join Elite 1 affiliated academies to support the development of youth players across the country.
Target Darts aims to give rising players the resources and platform they need to develop within the sport by teaming up with the best youth academies across the country.
Target will provide mentoring and financial support with world-class equipment opening the opportunity to a large pool of youth players, making darts more accessible for those that want to get better and deserve opportunities in the sport.
"Giving young players somewhere like these wonderful academies can only be a good thing, somewhere safe and with a communal feel to it. Young women and girls can play in these academies without any worry, that's something that might get overlooked, but it will not be unappreciated."
- Lorraine Winstanley, Head of Youth Development
2018 World Champion, Rob Cross, and PDC Development Tour Winner, Jarred Cole, represented Team Target by speaking to the new generation of darts players at Sudbury Youth Darts Academy. Some players got the opportunity to play a few legs against 'Voltage' at the launch event, with one youngster throwing a 180, much to the amusement of Cross.
"We are so proud to be the first Target Darts Elite 1 Affiliated Academy, this will help us move on to the next level with the extra help and support. Our dream is to get players into Elite 1 and I'm sure we can achieve this, development of players is what we enjoy doing and we have created pathways for this to happen, but more importantly we love seeing the smiles on kids faces every session."
- Paul Warner, Co-Founder
