Families Compete In Darts Through Zoom

School, spring sports, events and social gatherings are all canceled. So what is a family that is used to a busy life to do?

Organize an in-home dart league, for one.

Kurt Heckert recruited three other families for the Friday evening activity. The families get together – virtually through Zoom on iPads  – to throw darts in their own homes.

The competitors include Kurt, Kim, Jackson, and Jordyn Heckert of Lively Grove; Brad, Erin, Raegan and Lydia Luechtefeld of Okawville; Greg, Tara, Payten, Jacksen, Adysen, and Jilien Harre (rotating 4 players a week) of Okawville; and Bob, Angie, Cami, and Syd Walters of Mascoutah.

Through Zoom, the players can see the dartboards and families competing. Cheering and socializing are part of the fun, Heckert said.
