Darts-playing youngsters have doubled in numbers after the success of the sport’s teenage sensation Luke Littler.
16-year-old Littler made it to the PDC World Championship final, which saw both online interest in the game soar and him crowned BBC’s Young Sports Personality of the Year 2024 on Tuesday night.
Social media influencers have also played their part and the Junior Darts Corporation (JDC) in Wales claim darts has become one of the fastest growing sports with children.
With the 2025 World Championship now under way at Alexandra Palace in London the popularity of the game is predicted to grow further.
