What makes us different?

At Normanton Darts Academy, we are committed to providing high-quality development opportunities for young players of all abilities through structured, routine-based training that covers all aspects of the game. All weekly training routines are carefully planned by our qualified darts coach, Sam Squire, who also supports and guides our mentors in delivering each session effectively. Players benefit from monthly one-to-one coaching and personalised feedback from Sam, alongside ongoing support and feedback from our mentors after every session. This approach ensures a consistent, supportive, and tailored learning environment where every child can develop with confidence.

Our story

 

Sam and Sophie began their darts journeys at the ages of 10 and 12, gaining first-hand experience of the limited opportunities available for young players at the time. As they progressed beyond the youth system, they went on to lead the county youth team, managing a highly successful three-year period of development and achievement.

Through this experience, they identified a continued lack of opportunities for young darts players within their local community. Driven by a passion for the sport and a commitment to youth development, Sam and Sophie set out to make a difference—founding both a Darts Event Organisation and the Normanton Darts Academy, creating clear pathways and meaningful opportunities for the next generation of players.

 

"Normanton Darts Academy is a fantastic place for players of all abilities. Sam, Sophie and all the mentors run a truly fabulous academy where everyone is made to feel welcome and included. Players have a great time while learning new skills and improving their game in a fun, supportive environment. There are always plenty of tournaments and events, not just for the players but for parents too, which really adds to the community feel. I would 100% recommend Normanton Darts Academy to anyone looking to get involved in darts or develop their skills further."
