League

We bring together axe-throwing enthusiasts in Poland by creating the country’s only official IATF axe-throwing league under Axe Nation®.

The Origins of Axe Throwing as a Sport in Poland

Since 2016, we have been organizing the first and largest Axe Throwing League in Poland, officially operating under the patronage of the IATF – International Axe Throwing Federation. We were the first in Europe to join this global organization, and to this day, we remain its sole member in Poland. The IATF established the sport of axe throwing, defining its rules, permissible equipment, and hosting international competitions. Since 2021, Axe Nation has been organizing the Polish Axe Throwing Championships. League participants who excel have the opportunity to represent Poland at the International Axe Throwing Championships held annually in June in Toronto. The Axe Nation® League is not just about rankings and awards. It’s a weekly adrenaline-filled gathering of players who share unmatched enthusiasm for the sport!

Do You Need to Be a Pro to Join the League?

Absolutely not! Let’s start with what the axe-throwing league is – a few words from a fellow enthusiast. Above all, the league is about fun, especially at the beginning when you’re learning this unique and exciting sport. You’ll discover how enjoyable axe throwing can be – in a friendly atmosphere, with good company, and maybe even a beer in hand. The vibe during competitions stays with you long after. We are the community that makes this place and sport what it is. Participating in the league is more than just competition – it’s a chance to meet people who share your passion, make unique connections worldwide, and attend amazing events across Europe and beyond.

You don’t need any prior experience. Even if you’ve never thrown an axe before, that’s perfectly fine! You can start with us – everyone has a chance! Who knows, there might be an undiscovered talent within you. We’ll help you develop and refine your skills – trust me!
