Darts in Canterbury
Darts clubs in Christchurch, under the auspices of Darts Canterbury Incorporated (formerly the Canterbury Combined Chartered Clubs Darts Association), provide excellent opportunities for individuals and families to become involved in this exciting sport at both recreational and competitive levels.
Our organisation combines essential information for newcomers with news, an events calendar, and results for players already active in Canterbury.
A Competitive Sport
At higher competition levels, darts is played by professionals worldwide. The top players train athletically and practice extensively. They compete for significant prize money in UK competitions, with elite players typically aged 20-40 years. New Zealand sends its best players to the World Darts Championship each year, and any member of a Darts Canterbury club is eligible to work towards this goal.
A Social Game
The social aspect of darts is the biggest drawcard for many players. Regardless of skill level, players enjoy the company that the sport provides. Regional competitions allow players to meet people from across the South Island, forming lasting friendships. Darts is one of the few sports where you can enjoy a drink with friends while playing.
Gender Neutral
Darts is one of very few sports where there is little distinction made between men and women at club level. Most games are played with teams selected from within their grade regardless of gender, though some special events exist for men or women only.
