BLACKBURN JDC ACADEMY 

Blackburn Youth Darts Academy is a non-profitable organisation launched in March 2017 by founder and Academy Director Keith Brunt. 
 

The Academy aims to promote the Sport of Darts to children and young people whom are the future of the sport. 

The Academy enrolls both boys and girls aged 6 to 18 years to participate in darts activities. We hold weekly coaching sessions and attend competitions locally and nationally representing the town. Since our launch we have participated in numerous competitions and won many of these, some of which were against some well established academies. We have reached the Semi Finals also on a couple of occasions. 

The academy is now based at St Paul's Working Mens Club, Blackburn. This is our 4th venue since launching, having to move due to venues closing or the Academy outgrowing the venue. The Academy has 10 free standing dartboard set ups and a main stage set up. This really is one of the best darts facilities around which is admired by other academies around the country. 

We are a JDC affiliated and Target Elite 1 Affiliated Academy. We are fully insured, all our Coaches and Volunteers are fully DBS checked and are qualified in Child Safeguarding. We have 4 Level 1 Qualified Darts Coaches from only around 18 in the world.  We currently have over 60 students and this is growing every month. All funds collected go back into academy by paying for equipment, trips, competitions and general running costs.
