Darts Society is a society for those who are interested in playing, watching or discussing darts. It is a great society to meet new people, socialise and have fun. We aim to provide a friendly environment for all abilities; Whether you've never picked a set of darts up before or whether you've been playing for years, we welcome all.
Why should I join?
We enjoy socialising and practicing in a relaxed atmosphere, as opposed to some sports who take things a lot more seriously.
Our away day trips to other universities are always a brilliant laugh and a great day out. In the past we have hosted many a great social, including circling and pub crawls. Our members are welcoming, and simply turning up to one of our practice sessions is a great way to meet new people, have a throw and have a laugh.
Darts is also a cheap sport to play; especially at Warwick, the membership is FREE! For those who don't yet have a set of darts, our members are always happy to lend a spare set. We also have society darts which are free to use just ask the exec! Other than that, travel is the only other expenditure.
How do I keep up with what you have going on?
A few ways you can see what socials, games and events we have on are:
I haven't played before, does this matter?
NO! Many of our current exec had never thrown a dart before coming to uni. We took the risk of trying something new, and now we love it! You can only ever improve at something you have never done before.
Plus, there are no entry barriers to joining Warwick Darts, so why should you not consider it? I mean, even if you do miss the board a few times, you might get a laugh out of one of your friends missing too!
What do we play?
We compete with 3 teams in the University Darts UK league. In our debut UDUK season, we finished a respectable 6th out of 12 teams. In our second season we climbed up the league to 2nd and reached National Finals! Then, in the 22/23 season, we won the Midlands division after a final-day victory over Nottingham Trent before reaching the semi-finals of the National Finals for the second year in a row. More recently, one of our members won the UDUK Summer Showdown Tournament 25/26, which is a tournament that involves all UDUK universities and our women’s team were able to be victorious becoming Varsity Champions 25/26.
We are also three-time Varsity champions defeating Birmingham in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Internally, we hold weekly practice sessions, where members can try to improve their game or simply just chill with friends. We run an in-house rankings system so players can monitor their progress as well as regular round robin groups, and several 'major' tournaments, such as our Christmas Cup, Masters, World Championship and more!
When do we play?
Our matches take place on Wednesday, and our practice sessions normally take place on Sunday but this year we are looking to increase our sessions so more detailed information on our timetable for the term can be found on our socials.
Where do we play?
We have recently moved locations to be inside Fusion Bar in the centre of the Warwick Campus (just next to the Pret).
This facility has nine boards (6 permanent and 3 temporary) for FREE public use. If you do not have darts just ask the bar staff for a set to give darts a go!
Warwick Darts has priority over the use of the facilities for matchdays and practice sessions so the facilities can be match ready!
On matchdays all nine boards will be set out for our three teams to play their matches.
For UDUK away games, we also travel to several other Central universities. For 2025/26, the league included Birmingham, Gloucestershire, Leicester and Loughborough.
Do I have to play?
No, you can attend any of our socials, events, and practices without playing darts. We often have members who do this, and they find it is a good reason to get out for an hour or two and socialise. We also have plenty of social events going on all year round so you can simply attend one of these :)
Warwick Darts Women
Try a new sport and join a friendly environment. Any skill level welcome, most new members have never played darts before.
Women’s only sessions will be held throughout the year so there is the opportunity for newcomers to give the sport a go!
Our Women’s Captain is the winner of a UDUK women’s title and the women’s team will have the opportunity to compete against other universities’ women’s team!
Varsity
The biggest day in the Warwick Darts calendar is always varsity!
Last year we hired out the Copper Rooms and had professional PDC referee Kirk Bevins MC our matches. Players will have walkouts and compete in doubles, singles and intermural matches against Birmingham Uni on stage in front of a massive crowd!
