Who We Are
Don’t let the word “axes” scare you. BATL, The Backyard Axe Throwing League, is a dynamic, inclusive, and progressive company with a long track record of internal career advancement. Our mission at BATL is to show people the power of being good to each other using the axe as a tool to build community, inspired by our backyard roots. Founded in 2006, we’re immensely proud to have been the first organization in the world to offer an indoor venue to experience the thrill of axe throwing in leagues, group parties, walk-ins, and team building. We continue to further our promise to be as inclusive as possible in our work and play environment: We continue to work actively in creating a sense of belonging for a diversity of perspectives reflecting the greater community and, unlike most sports, our throwers always compete head-to-head with no separation by gender identity or physical disability, including tournament play. BATL is one of the quickest growing brands in the sporting entertainment industry, with extensive national press coverage and a fanatical following of league members and event guests. Almost 2 million people from all walks of life have thrown axes at one of our BATL venues. BATL is a proud founding member of the International Axe Throwing Federation (IATF). batlgrounds.com
