As well as a being a senior and masters representative player, Darlington was Central Squash's high performance director from 2012-16, during which time he managed the rep teams and helped guide the women's team to win their national title twice over three years, which was a first for the district.

The selectors job is to "select teams that will perform to the best of their ability, represent New Zealand with pride, and have the ability to achieve Squash NZ's High-Performance goals".
