Darts is basically a game of target blended with intelligence coupled with precision and concentration in
order to score the points that are required to bring it to zero. Hand and eye co-ordination is a must for this game. It is a game played with equal vigor by the young and the old on the same platform. Last but not the least, it is an inexpensive game and can be played in a small area.
All India Darts Association, though still very young, has done a plethora of events to popularize the game
and remodeled it from a game of elite to a game that can be played by the masses. It has organized
competitions at all levels iike Clubs, Schools, Corporates, States, Zonal and National, among others.
