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 you should 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.
