How to get into darts
BBC Sport
Darts has a reputation as being slightly less vigorous exercise then some of its cousins.
That may well be true, but in terms of meeting new people, finding a hobby and perfecting a difficult craft, it's as good a sport as any!
The traditional route into darts has long been through your local pub, but an era of increased professionalism has opened up paths into the sport outside of the boozer.

The traditional route into darts has long been through your local pub, but an era of increased professionalism has opened up paths into the sport outside of the boozer.
The Professional Darts Corporation is the main governing body offering its own route into the sport, however you can find local opportunities in Scotland,Wales, and Northern Ireland through their local governing bodies.
