“There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and
never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren't willing to
sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in
the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual
goals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the fullest
is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades
will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and
intelligence win championships."
- MICHAEL JORDAN, 23
From 2008 and beyond, DESTINY will be an all-female paintball team. Destiny is based out of Florida.
OBJECTIVE: To show that females can play paintball and COMPETE and to encourage more women to play in both the tournament scene and in woodsball/scenario, as well. To bring in, inspire, and mentor more women to give paintball a chance.
This team will be a roster of health-conscious and athletic women who have discipline, good morals, behave positively, will be alcohol-free and drug-free, and who will also be good examples for both women and the younger generation. Our youngest member (Brittany Wagoner) is 15 years old.
DESTINY ALL-FEMALE will play the entire series as a D2 team in the NPPL. We will also play a couple in the CFOA, one SPPL, a couple of big games and scenarios, and some pump events. We hope to go overseas to at least one, if not two, Millennium Series events.
HISTORY:
In 2007, DESTINY NPPL took 4th place at the NPPL Tampa Super 7. DESTINY finished up in 19th place out of 102 Division 2 teams in the NPPL in 2007.
DESTINY finished up in 5th place in the XPSL Overall Series Standings.
In 2006, Destiny won the 2006 San Diego Super 7 D2 Championship!!! Destiny finished up in 2nd place overall out of 102 Division 2 teams.
Previous to this year, we were the only co-ed team to win a national (and internationally known) event with a mixed roster of both genders. We competed in a professional paintball league (NPPL). In 2005, we were in 7th Place out of the 140 teams that have competed in DII. We finished up in 2006 in 2nd place overall out of the 102 teams that competed in the NPPL. Last season, our best event was the Tampa Super 7 event where we placed 4th place out of 50 D2 teams. Overall in '07, we placed 19th out of 102 D2 teams in the NPPL.
Looking forward to seeing you again at Ground Zero

I agree with Seek and Destroy PB below me. We need more great women in the paintball world. Nothin sexier than a girl that can get down and dirty and kick another guys ass in paintball. You guys did great in Huntington Beach and I can't wait to see you guys again in Chicago. Good luck Destiny, you girls rock!
A hot girl paintball team, thats sexy. In the dude fest that is paintball, yall are doin a good job of bringing chicks into the sport. keep it goin! we all need our girlfriends over here to understand why paintball is so addictive and that they can play. id rather buy mine a case a paint instead of half a pair of shoes.
