We have an exciting new development for the World Axe Throwing League (WATL). We’ve decided to organize a World Axe Throwing League Council. The WATL council members (WATL Ambassadors) will be assisting the Commissioner as a special review and advisory council for WATL issues and changes. These founding ambassadors and were hand-picked by the President and the Commissioner of WATL to cover the most amount of different experiences as possible to provide a wide variety of insight. They also have shown great merit in the community not just to WATL but to axe throwing overall. We believe that each one of them has shown the qualities that will help progress the sport of axe throwing to the next level.
Without further ado, meet the WATL Council
