Skills and people
-
While accurate throwing requires much skill, darts is
very easy to pick up and it can be played by people of all ages and
abilities, and both sexes.
-
You can play and practice darts on your own at home, but for most
people this is a prelude to playing with one or more other people as a
regular part of pub or club life.
-
It is usually better if the people you play with are of roughly
the same standard as yourself, though not necessarily of the same age and
sex.
-
But there is also a variety of games using the dart board that
can be played by people of different skills.
Equipment or clothing
-
No special clothing is required. A dart board and at least one
set of darts is required to play or practice at home.
-
Most
locations with dart boards provide sets of darts with which to play,
though some people like to have their own.
A place or facilities
-
There are facilities for darts in most pubs and clubs and many other
social and community centres including village
and community halls, schools and sports centres.
-
Use of the board is
normally free to customers, but there may be local rules regarding access.
