“South Manchester Darts is the biggest, and fastest growing darts league in the city, with teams and players of all standards competing on wednesday evenings”
Get Involved!
We currently have 32 teams across three divisions, so there is a team in the league for everyone!
As the 2024/25 season comes to a close, and with a new season scheduled to begin in April, we are currently open to applications from new teams who wish to join the league. So get in touch today to make sure you dont miss out!
We currently have teams in the following areas:
Altrincham, Timperley, Hale Barns, Wythenshawe, Sale, Stretford, Trafford, Flixton, Urmston, Chorlton, Withington, Didsbury, Burnage and Levenshulme.
New teams will be considered from all these areas, but you can always get in touch with us to check if your area is not listed.
We cant currently accomodate teams in the City Centre, East Manchester, Salford or Stockport due to the travel involved.
How to register a team
New teams can join the South Manchester Darts league prior to the start of each new season.
To enter a team into the league, you will need a full team of players committed to the upcoming season, and a venue with the space and equipment needed to host a darts match.
All venues must have at least one dartboard, a raised oche and good lighting. There is also an expectation that venues will provide food when hosting a regular league fixture.
You can submit your request to register a new team by filling in this form providing confirmation of the requirements above, and the team captain contact details and a full list of players to be signed on.
So you want to join a team?
Whether you are a seasoned darts veteran, just play for fun, or want to join a team for the first time, there is a team for you in the South Manchester Darts League.
To get the best experience of the league it’s important to have a realistic idea of where your game is currently at, and aim to join a team of a similar level to make sure you get some game time.
Anyone who plays at a consistently good level will welcome the challenge offered by Division 1 darts, with Division 2 not far behind in standard. Division 3, offers a fun night out for both beginners and experienced players of all levels who just love a game of darts!
Players can register for a team even after the season has started, and player registrations can be submitted at any time until the end of the first half of the season.
