ACCESSIBILITY AT
BATTLE AXE THROWING

At Battle Axe Throwing, we believe everyone should feel comfortable giving axe throwing a go.

Whether you're brand new, throwing from a wheelchair, neurodivergent, anxious about trying something new, or just unsure what to expect, our coaches work hard to create a welcoming and supportive environment for all experience levels.

Our sessions are coach-led, beginner-friendly, and adjustable depending on your group's comfort level and vibe. Some groups want a relaxed social session, others want a challenge, and many are trying axe throwing for the very first time.

 

We'll help guide the experience in a way that works for you.

Located right in Wollongong CBD, Battle Axe Throwing is proud to offer one of the most inclusive indoor group activities in Wollongong.

Wheelchair Accessibility

Battle Axe Throwing has been designed with accessibility in mind, including spacious throwing lanes with room for many motorised wheelchairs to comfortably manoeuvre.

There is ramp access available at the venue. If required, our team can place the accessibility ramp prior to your session to help make entry easier.

We also offer flexible coaching styles to suit different participants.

Our bathroom is accessible, however there is one step leading into the bathroom area. An accessibility ramp can be placed if required.

Please note: some larger motorised wheelchairs may need to confirm dimensions beforehand due to corridor width restrictions near the bathroom entrance. Feel free to contact us before booking and we'll do our best to help.

Neurodivergent & Sensory Considerations

Trying something new can feel intimidating, especially in an unfamiliar environment.

Our coaches are experienced in working with first-time throwers and people with different comfort levels. Every session starts with a safety briefing and guided coaching so participants know exactly what to expect before competition begins.

Axe throwing can involve sudden and erratic noises from axes hitting the boards, loud cheers, and general venue activity. Some guests may initially find this overstimulating, particularly during busy sessions.

We find many participants settle in once they become familiar with the environment and rhythm of the session.

To help make things more comfortable, we offer:

  • One-on-one coaching support

  • Flexible pacing where possible

  • Different throwing styles to suit the individual

  • A supportive and low-pressure introduction to throwing

  • Noise dampeners at the front desk

If you or someone in your group has sensory sensitivities or anxiety around new environments, feel free to contact us before your session.

Beginner-Friendly & Inclusive by Design

You do not need to be athletic, competitive, or experienced to enjoy axe throwing.

Many of our guests are trying it for the first time, and our coaches work with each participant individually to help them feel comfortable and successful before games begin.

Sessions can be adapted depending on the group. Some groups enjoy friendly competition, while others prefer a more relaxed and social experience.

Battle Axe Throwing proudly welcomes:

  • First-time throwers

  • LGBTQ+ participants

  • Neurodivergent guests

  • Participants with mobility limitations

  • Participants with hearing impairments

  • Participants with vision impairments

  • Social groups of all experience levels

Our goal is simple: help everyone feel included, supported, and capable of joining in.

Support Workers, Carers & Spectators

Spectating at Battle Axe Throwing is completely free.

Support workers and carers are also eligible for 50% off participation if they would like to throw alongside the participant they are supporting.
