Tell the adults who are afraid the talented kids are stealing their points to practice more. Not sure if a USA vote will be counted but sharing anyway! #kidsdartsmatter

Being able to play in adult tournaments back home gave me a lot of confidence. This is a big thing when we're trying to grow our chosen sport in each of the provinces! I personally think if you are a youth in at least the senior division, you should absolutely be allowed to play.

i would like to add that if youth are good enough to play with the adults let them play. without youth this world will be nothing but a wasteland......they are the future...change the rules to allow them to play..just as long as they are with a parent or with adult supervision......lets not turn the youth of the future down to be discouraged and become troublemakers

There is no reason in the world that should not allow youth to play in tournaments. So what If there's alcohol. You don't mind drinking away when you're at the youth provincials "supporting" them. That's the biggest tournament for the youth and if alcohol is the main issue then NO ONE should be drinking. You guys are the ones that are suppose to set a good and prime example for the youth and you're doing everything but. You should praise the youth that beat adults not punish them, cause let's be honest that's the real reason behind this, cause alcohol has never stopped anyone before, and it's not the youth that ever drink it anyways it's you guys.

youth should be allowed to play with adults it gives them the experience they need to learn, out son plays youth darts and playing adults would be the kick in the pants to get him motivated to practice more

If a youth darter is good enough to play with the adults then let them play. They are our future darters!!!

We allow youth to play in any tournament as long as they are allowed in the venue. Skill, caliber and sportsmanship can only increase if they are taught from dart 1

I agree with Randy as i was there in N.Y. with him. The youngsters need too learn the game from the best dart players and how too act as a player. If junior darters think they can play with the adults then let them. Thats how u get the experience.

I hereby sign and fully support this petition with regards to first hand experience with the topic. Nothing but positive experiences come from having no age ban!

I've watched my brother play from an early age and he did excellent. Why can't kids play darts? They're the future that will keep the sport alive!!
