Darts is basically a game of target blended with intelligence coupled with precision and concentration in order to score the points that are required to bring it to zero. Hand and eye co-ordination is a must for this game. It is a game played with equal vigor by the young and the old on the same platform. Last but not the least, it is an inexpensive game and can be played in a small area.
All India Darts Association, though still very young, has done a plethora of events to popularize the game and remodeled it from a game of elite to a game that can be played by the masses. It has organized competitions at all levels like Clubs, Schools, Corporates, States, Zonal and National, among others.

As we grow hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder in our endeavor for excellence we have organized Fifteen National Championships. We have also held four Zonal Championships, State Championships, Merchants Cup, Inter School and Inter State Championships. The State Bodies have also been organizing the State and District level Championships regularly.
All India Darts Association has been sending Indian teams for various International Competitions like Asia Pacific Cup, Singapore Open, Malaysian Open, Philippines Open, Winmau World Masters and World Cup Darts where around 69 affiliated countries under the World Darts Federation take part.
All India Darts Association is also strengthening itself for organizing international competitions like India-Pakistan Friendship Cup and is also planning to organize South Asian Darts Championship, Asian Darts Championship and Indian Open.
