Michael Smith visited the Ethical Culture Fieldston School here in New York to inspire the stars of tomorrow with the help of the Junior Darts Corporation! 📚🎯
Last weekend, some of the best darters in the world competed at the US Darts Masters in New York. The World Series of Darts tournament was eventually won by Rob Cross, who proved too strong for Gerwyn Price in the final, 8-7 at Madison Square Garden.
In addition to their business on the board, some of the top players also had time to visit the Garden of Dreams Foundation. That is a nonprofit charity that partners with the MSG Family of Companies - including Madison Square Garden, host of this week's World Series of Darts event - to provide life-changing experiences to young people in need.
Luke Littler, who was unable to back up his recent victory on debut in the Premier League Darts as he came up short in the semifinals in New York, showed his support for the Garden of Dreams Foundation by wearing their logo on his shirt throughout his participation in the US Darts Masters.

In addition, former world champion Rob Cross and U.S. Tour Card holder Danny Lauby Jr. led a special darts session with 16 youngsters at Madison Square Garden on Thursday. Cross and Lauby were joined by PDC ambassador and the 'Voice of Darts', Russ Bray, plus staff from the Junior Darts Corporation for the session, which introduced the sport to a new generation stateside.
The youngsters were also invited to attend the opening night of the US Darts Masters on Friday, where they could cheer on the likes of Cross and Lauby and see referee Bray in action.
JDC activities in New York ahead of the US Darts Masters included a darts session at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School attended by 2023 PDC World Darts Champion Michael Smith and the launch of new JDC Academies in the United States and Canada this year.

- 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
