The Backyard Axe Throwing League | BATL Ottawa

We're BATL, the original Backyard Axe Throwing League. We're immensely proud to have been the first organization in the world to offer an urban venue to experience the thrill of indoor axe throwing in leagues, walk-ins, group parties and team building. BATL was founded in the backyard of CEO Matt Wilson in 2006, and today over 1 million people have experienced the thrill of throwing axes at one of our 13 locations. Our Ottawa location is located minutes from HWY 417 near the Minto Skating Centre and Ottawa Athletic Club and can host groups of 2 – 135 people. THROW AT BATL: Parties & Events Our events require advance booking, and are hosted by BATL coaches in a private area for your group. Things begin with practice and instruction (no experience necessary!) before starting a tournament to test your skills. 8-Week Leagues Our leagues run all year, and are tightly knit communities of great people who love to hang out and throw axes. No experience necessary and you'll receive pointers from our friendly coaches.
