Matt Wilson, CEO and FounderBATL Axe Throwing provides businesses with a great platform to empower their teams and build trust and camaraderie among each member through axe-throwing.
The company understands that work relationships can become strained, with departmental divides or social separations. BATL aims to bring transformation by breaking down these barriers and creating a space for effective teamwork and shared experiences.
BATL stands for the Backyard Axe Throwing League, which started as a sport in the backyard of Wilson. He was passionate about the sport and built an axe-throwing target on his lawn. Wilson’s friends accompanied him, and it became a heart-stopper activity. Eventually, more people visited the spot where strangers got a platform to make friends by getting to know each other better. Today, BATL has become the world’s first urban axe-throwing platform, with 18 locations and a vibrant community of axe throwers.
“Axe throwing is perceived as an activity better suited for men, which is not true; we have nearly a 50-50 split between men and women balance among our clients,” says Matt Wilson, founder and CEO, BATL. “What our customers truly appreciate is the chance to socialize, come together, and share a memorable and enjoyable time. We give them a platform to bond as a team, distinct from the typical office environment, establishing a common ground where everyone can comfortably mingle.”
BATL’s team is adept at creating captivating moments for the participants by providing the proper support and guidance on axe-throwing techniques. It directs everyone to the focal points, guiding them on where to focus their attention. The result is that every participant gains a consistent experience.
BATL has the bandwidth to host different events like team building, a bachelor party, a bachelorette party, or any other occasion. Moreover, it is a sought-after destination for date nights.
It also runs leagues, similar to traditional sports leagues or pool leagues. This provides a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, make friends, and engage in exciting and competitive activities. The league system offers an excellent stag program that allows a participant to monitor progress week by week, keeping tabs on the wins and losses throughout the league session.
