We are a youth darts academy based in Irvine. We provide the young people of Irvine and North Ayrshire a safe and nurturing space to participate and learn the sport of darts. We aim to assist the young people in our community by providing an interest out with their home environment and the opportunity for them to promote positive peer relationships. We aim to promote darting, numeracy and attainment skills to youngsters from the ages of 8 years old up to 18 years old.

Annually, P6 pupils and staff from all 12 local schools (498 in 2025) visit Wellwood Burns Centre & Museum to learn about Robert Burns and the role Irvine played in inspiring and encouraging Burns, the apprentice flax-dresser, to become Burns, the apprentice poet. The “Champion of Champions” verse speaking event allows primary pupils show their budding speaking skills, boosting their self-confidence and gain an appreciation of the Scots language.

The aim of our project is to strive towards social inclusion and the physical and emotional wellbeing for our pupils. This would be achieved through encouragement of outdoor activities within downtime at school.
