| The
National Dart Foundation of the Philippines (NDFP) is a non-profit
organization duly registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on September 1998. It was conceived to provide a vision, direction
and leadership to the growth and development of darts in the Philippines.
The NDFP believes that the Philippines has the potential and the
human resources to produce international champions.
The NDFP is in the forefront of pursuing “breakaway challenges”
of striking new directions and creating the national dart infrastructure
through breakthrough dart tournaments, uplifting the image of darts
through TV specials, dart mall tours, dart clinics and nationwide
dart leagues.
The NDFP maintains nationwide support programs for the local dart
organizations to expand the base of darters through market interventions
in the natural breeding grounds of darts such as the barangays,
schools, corporate agencies and the dart venues.
The NDFP created the only Dart Reference
Manual specific for the Philippine market to provide basic knowledge
for local organizing and program implementation. Dart Instructional
VCDs were distributed to facilitate and teach basic technical skills
enhancement.
