One competitor is 14-year-old Coby Chrisman, who travels across the country playing in adult tournaments. He shared how he got his start.
”I practice 5 to 7 hours a day,” he said.
He added that his father encouraged him to try the sport.
“5 years ago he got me into darts out on steel-tip board out in the garage, and said ‘throw a few’ and I just kind of picked it up from there,” Chrisman said.
After this tournament, Chrisman will go to North Carolina to play in the ADO World Masters Youth Championship. If he places in the competition, he’ll get an invite to compete in the Netherlands.
He’s currently ranked in the top 100 in the nation.
