Overview of Skill

The skill I have chosen to do for Movement Analysis & Skill Acquisition is Darts.

Darts is a form of throwing game in which darts are thrown at a circular target (dartboard) fixed to a wall.Though various boards and rules have been used in the past, the term "darts" usually now refers to a standardised game involving a specific board design and set of rules. As well as being a professional competitive sport, darts is a traditional pub game.

In the standard game, the dartboard is hung so that the bullseye is 5 feet 8 inches (172.72 cm) from the floor. The player is to throw from around 2.4m from the board.
