Ross Smith, who won his first major last year with the European Championship, was a guest at a school in Leicester last week as part of the PDC Bullseye Maths program.
This program aims to get schoolchildren better at math through darts-related exercises. "I really enjoyed the Bullseye Maths session and it was superb to see the kids having fun and getting involved," Smith said. "It's trying to make learning more enjoyable for children; darts is a great game and it's a great skill to have the maths. It was a privilege to be part of the Bullseye Maths session and I hope the pupils can be inspired to enjoy maths more in the future."
The head of Martinshaw Primary School in Leicester, Neil Elson, also looks back with satisfaction, "It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to welcome the PDC to Martinshaw Primary School. The team working with our children were great and everyone had a super time improving their maths skills while also having fun playing darts."
"Other skills also came into play such as teamwork, resilience and empathy, but it was also great to see the children improve their fine motor skills as they honed in on their dart throwing accuracy. It was also a first for everyone to meet a professional darts champion - Ross Smith. He was super with the children and it was lovely that he was able to answer questions at the end. Many thanks for inviting us to take part in the initiative."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
