We are seeking a group of volunteers that are passionate about providing strategic direction and oversight as the Academy develops and grows.

If this is a role you are interested in, you are invited to attend the formation meeting taking place at 5pm on 1 October @ Preston Grasshoppers Rugby Club.

After a nice Summer break our Thursday sessions will be starting back tomorrow evening.

As usual the first session will run 6-7.15 and the second session 7.15-8.30. Please can all parents/guardians be available at the start of the session. I need to verify the contact info I have and update plans for the next 12 months.

I look forward to seeing all members tomorrow! 🎯😀

It’s going to be our final drop in session of the Summer this Thursday (27 Aug). If any members want to have a few games please head over anytime between 6-8pm. I’ll have the automatic scorers on and it’ll be a relaxed evening. All parents are also welcome to bring their darts and get involved!

A quick reminder we’ve got a special meet and greet in store this afternoon. If anyone is available it’s a great opportunity to play a leg against Jack, one of the best up and coming young players in darts. Well then have a relaxed drop-in session between 5-6pm for the kids to have some matches on the automatic scorers. 👇👇

🚨 Friday 24 July: Drop-in Session 🚨

This Friday one of the best young players in the country is visiting our store. Jack is in a great position to qualify for Ally Pally at the end of the year and he’ll be playing against customers throughout the afternoon.

The event with Jack runs from 3pm - 5pm and I’m planning on holding a drop in session for the Academy between 5pm - 6pm.

If any members are free on Friday, it’s a great opportunity to play a leg against Jack and, as long as there is enough interest, we’ll have an hour afterwards for the kids to play matches and have some fun.

🚨 SESSION CANCELLED 16 JULY 🚨

Last week was just about bearable with the heat but it’s looking like it will be a good few degrees warmer tomorrow☀️☀️. I have therefore decided to cancel the session this Thursday evening. Formal sessions will start again after Summer on Thursday 3 September.

In the next day or two I will send out a list of dates for various drop-in sessions that will take place over Summer. These are an opportunity for members to see each other during the break and we’ll do a few little comps if enough attend.

I have also spoken to Pete and the planned tournament in Longridge this Sunday is going to be postponed until after Summer. This will allow a lot more to attend. I will communicate a date and time for this asap.

A big thank-you to everyone who has supported the Academy since we started 7 or 8 months ago.

Whilst we take a break over Summer, I will be working hard on various developments to ensure members are given the best possible opportunity for future development and progression!

It’s a bit of a warm one out there today! 🕶️☀️

Whilst the two sessions will go ahead as usual tonight, if any kids are struggling with the heat and would prefer to give their session a miss this week, that is absolutely fine. There is no requirement to give notice.

For those attending, please ensure you have a drink. For obvious reasons shorts and light clothing are recommended.

See you this evening! 🎯
