Head Coach Gavin Hall
Head Coach

Gavin Hall

I’m a 40-year-old Scorpio with a dry sense of humour, passionate about sport — especially darts, which I’ve loved since I was 13. I’ve played in clubs on and off for years and I organise Santa Visits Ponthir, a local tradition I’ve run for the last two years. Living in Ponthir, I’m committed to building a welcoming, family-friendly community where our academy can thrive and every player has a great time.

Sarah

Hello! I’m Sarah, one of the coaches at Raging Bullseye JDC. I jumped at the chance to support the academy after seeing Gav’s dedication to the community and its young people. With 20+ years in darts, I’ve captained teams, played mixed doubles and women’s leagues around Newport. I’m a trained nurse with first-aid certification, family-oriented with two children and two dogs, and I can’t wait to help our members grow in skill and confidence.

Sam

I’m Sam, 33, and I love sport — especially darts and football. I’ve played darts since 14, both casually and competitively, inspired by legends like Raymond van Barneveld and Phil “The Power” Taylor. I’m a Liverpool supporter and visit Anfield whenever I can. Family comes first for me, and I’m excited to help nurture talent in our community — maybe even discover a future world champion.

Hi, I’m Holly, 38, and a proud mum to Lily. We share our home with six dogs and a cat! Since starting the academy, darts has become a huge part of our lives — we truly live and breathe it as a family. I’m a qualified teacher and love seeing the kids each week. The best part is the family we’ve built with our players and parents, and I can’t wait to see it grow. I also help with academy admin.
