FOR THE GLORY!
They say: "Competition is the forge that hardens you". If you remember that feeling the first time your axe hit the bullseye, join a league and skill up to glory.
Leagues are the crucible where champions are made, and the 'art of the throw' is perfected. What better way than to challenge yourself and make new friends.
Plus each competition is tracked by the IATC - International Axe Throwing Championships - letting you compete on a global stage.
BATL is a proud member of the International Axe Throwing Federation
The International Axe Throwing Federation (IATF) represents the sport of axe throwing on behalf of over 6,000 league members in over 100 cities and 6 countries, with a mandate to promote safety, sports-like conduct, and competitive protocol.
What Is The IATC?
The International Axe Throwing Championship (IATC) is a yearly tournament where pro's and champions from around the world come to compete for the "Wilson Cup" , the ultimate 'Axe Throwing Trophy'. Plus tens of thousands in cash.
Formatted for fun. And competition!
Most BATL Leagues (excluding beer or recreational leagues) generate points that put your on the road to the IATC, letting you build your skills and rank-up to compete with the best of the best in axe throwing!

The BATL Oath
New Oath for league play is launched! We hope you love it!
League players gave us feedback that it would be good to update the Oath (which was launched in 2006). We agreed – it needed to be more gender inclusive. So we are pumped to say that we listened to your feedback and the revised Oath is here and ready for leagues! This revised Oath will be used across BATL for all leagues going forward.
You will still recognize the original Oath energy and phrasing but we think it is an improved version being gender neutral and better reflecting the focus on community, people, and competition.

Remember times of old,
And legends that were told,
Of family gathered ‘round,
As Champions were crowned
We honour them this day,
And pray our axe to stay.
What a great night we had. Elliot our coach was awesome, informative, great coaching and great fun. Our whole party all had the best time, and would love to do it again

Stopped by the open session to throw. Picked up the throws pretty easy thanks to coach Jeremy. My son and I had a great time. He showed us some games to play and explained everything clearly. For a first time the hour we spent was sufficient. Will come back.

Walked in at the last minute, Jen and Chantal told us walk in time had passed, but that they were gonna squeeze us in so we could try axe throwing for the first time! Thanks for the hospitality and the great service!
