The classic John Part routine — take out every score from 61 to 100 in six darts or fewer. Fast finishes score big.
Start on 27 and hit every double in order. Miss all three darts and the points come off. Survive to the bull.
Hit 1–20 in order then the bullseye. The first drill every player should own — and a great warm-up forever after.
Random doubles from 1–20, tracked hit rate. Build the confidence to close legs when it matters.
Track your hit rate on the big trebles — the most important scoring skill in darts, trained properly.
As many points as you can in 30, 60 or 120 seconds. Pure pressure, brilliant as a session opener.
Start at 121 and finish on a double. Every success raises the bar by one. How high can you climb?
Work down from 50 to 10 in steps of five, finishing each on a double. Bust and you reset. Unforgiving and effective.
Hit the target each round or your score is cut in half. A brutal test of nerve that's even better with mates.
Score on the round's number — land single, double and treble in one visit for an instant Shanghai win.
Only your third dart counts. Finish 101, 301 or 501 on a double with everything riding on one throw.
No games match that filter — try another.

Why Practice Games Work
Practice With a Purpose, Not Just Throwing
Chucking darts at treble 20 for an hour feels like practice, but it isn't training. Every game on this page gives your session a structure, a score and a target — which is exactly what turns board time into a better average. Miss your number in Halve It and it costs you. Leave a double standing in Bob's 27 and your score bleeds. That little bit of pressure is the point: it's the same pressure you feel standing on a double in a league match.
If you're not sure where to start, pick by weakness. Doubles letting you down? Doubles Practice and Bob's 27. Checkouts falling apart between 61 and 100? Catch 40 is the classic routine for exactly that range. Scoring power flat? Timed Scoring and Trebles Practice. Brand new to the board? Around the Board and Shanghai build accuracy without punishing you for it.
Better still, let the plan choose for you — the adaptive Training Plan builds sessions from these games around your logged results, giving your weakest area more work each week. And when you want a match rather than a drill, head over to Play & Score.
