What is the WATL?

The sport of urban axe throwing is trending and expanding internationally. WATL founder, Mario Zelaya noticed that many indoor urban axe throwing facilities, mostly in Canada, followed similar business practices and axe throwing rules.

However, there wasn’t much communication between axe venues. Mario felt that we needed to create a forum for these facilities to open the floor for discussion on standardizing official rules and regulations to reach a level of harmony and legitimize indoor axe throwing as a sport. That way, by working together, we could put axe throwing on par with other major sports.

“Because of the strong demand for the sport of urban axe throwing, we’re establishing a World Axe Throwing League – like what you would expect for the NHL, UFC, NBA, MLB, etc.,” said Mario Zelaya, League Chairman and founder.

THE LARGEST AXE THROWING ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD

The vision of the WATL is to prove that indoor axe throwing isn’t just a unique experience; it can be a competitive sport. They have united indoor urban axe throwing facilities from around the world under one professional axe throwing association. The collaboration with other indoor urban axe throwing companies to create WATL has set this league apart from the rest. This all-inclusive approach brings facilities just like ours together and allows us the forum and voice to communicate with each other to establish standardized rules and regulations for this sport.
