HOT SHOT DARTS

A MODIFIED GAME OF DARTS FOR JUNIORS

(WITH EMPHASIS ON PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN)

Queensland Darts under the Guidance of the State Coaching Director (& also National Coaching Director) Judy Taylor is introducing Queensland Primary Schools to this modified game of Darts.

The Board is a modified version of a normal dart board with the use of the same colours as a normal board and the use of larger areas to define the doubles trebles etc.

The Darts are called a soft Tip Dart and are generally a Plastic point.

This factor allows for a more safety conscious aspect than the normal game of darts where metal points could be far to dangerous to be used by children within the school environment.

1.  Games format is at present being developed with the emphasis on teaching basic skills of the game.

2.  It is also an ideal tool for math's teachers to use to assist students in improving their mathematical skills.

3.  If your school is interested in introducing "Hot Shot" into the school's activities please contact Judy Taylor on 0749288895 or email  qdasect@hotkey.net.au

4.  Queensland Darts will assist in the best way we can to get you started with this project.

5.  At the present time we have sent out the program to 24 Primary Schools in Queensland to guage the interest.

6.  Queensland darts participates in the National Coaching Accreditation program and members are required to hold a Blue card to work with children

The WDF says: "Well done Queensland, keep up the good work".
