Bullseye! Our School of Darts
The Midlands darts academies improving teenagers' mental wellbeing and shaping stars of the future, such as Henry from Derbyshire who鈥檚 battling it out to be world number one.
Run by professional player Jamie Caven, the junior darts academy in Derby is helping to improve teenagers' mental wellbeing, as well as shaping the stars of the future, like Henry from Darley Dale in Derbyshire who鈥檚 battling it out to be world number one.
In Coventry, psychotherapist Sean Casey Poole set up an academy to help change the image of the sport, with less focus on alcohol and an unhealthy lifestyle and more focus on mindfulness and professional playing. It鈥檚 proving popular, with around 40 regular junior players. We meet Ben, born with half a heart, who struggles with physical exercise. He says darts and the academy has helped him through the toughest of times of his life.
The two teams meet in a friendly match - but will it be the east or west Midlands who reign victorious?
