Calling ALL Female Players! Destiny Army wants to recruit YOU!
Destiny Army, All-female Scenario Team, is looking for female players to join the team!
Destiny Army is a scenario team, with an emphasis on bringing more women into the scenario/woodsball/pump playing aspect of the sport. Those that join us at the events will get to learn and participate at the same time, running alongside other women who have the same thing in common – being female and loving paintball.
Destiny Army will debut at the Grand Finale at Wayne’s World in Ocala, Florida. Any female showing up in a Destiny jersey will have a free entry (a $65 savings!) into the Grand Finale event, which is said to bring in close to 2000 people! Once you have the jersey, the other events (can be up to 15 events) we will attend will also get you free entry, as well!
If you don’t have a Destiny jersey already, go to AnimalPaintball.com and order the Destiny Scenario version jersey that can be purchased online. If you end up showing to the event without a jersey, don’t worry, we will also have Destiny jerseys available for purchase at the event.
This event will also be an opportunity for women to tryout for the 16 active member spots. However, this doesn’t mean that the team will be exclusive to those 16 members. Destiny Army will be an unlimited number of women running in an event as a team, as long as they’re wearing the Destiny jersey. There will be perks when being a part of the team even if you’re not chosen as the 16 active member roster, which includes sponsored and discounted products, the chance to network and build relationships with people in the industry, and to get tips and coaching advice from Destiny’s Coach, and also LA Ironmen Pro Player, Mike Paxson, and legendary World Champion Rocky Cagnoni!
In 2009, Destiny Army will participate in at least 10 scenario events. There will also be other events that we will try to attend, like an SPPL (Scenario Paintball Players League) or even FPPL (Florida Pump Paintball League). The whole point of Destiny Army is to introduce more women into the sport and inspire those women through those exemplary players that exist on the team already from players on Destiny’s tournament team like Bea Youngs, Brittany Wagoner, Jackie Lon, and Angie Manfrate. Destiny coaches Mike Paxson and Rocky Cagnoni will also be at the Grand Finale, so you’ll have the chance to meet and play alongside them, as well. Both advanced and beginners can join the team – there are no restrictions.
Come be a part of history! We’re hoping to have the most females in attendance at a paintball event, starting with the Grand Finale.
WHEN: December 6th and 7th, 2008
TIME: Saturday, 12 NOON until Sunday, 2PM

EMAIL BEA
If you’re interested, email Bea Youngs at beayoungs@yahoo.com and she’ll add you to the list. The only requirement is that you are a female and that you come wearing a Destiny jersey, which can be purchased at AnimalPaintball.com or at the event. So, place your orders soon, and make sure that you let them know that you need this jersey before the Ocala event on Dec. 6th and 7th. Again, if you don’t have one, Destiny jerseys will be available for purchase at the event.
Once you email Bea and let her know that you’re definitely coming, include the following:
1) Full Name
2) Where you are coming from
3) Phone Number
AIRPORT INFO

We’ll meet Saturday, December 6th, bright and early, 730AM at the PBNation Skydeck, where we will be staging out of all day!

Sunday Clothing Ad in Paintball Sports Magazine
Big Thanks to Sunday Clothing/Behind the Mask for their support of Team Destiny for the 2008 season.
Go to http://www.MakeItToSunday.com, buy a cool, trendy Sunday Clothing T-shirt - part of the proceeds will go to the Hurricane Ike relief.
You can see us all play at the next event for Destiny at the San Diego Super 7 at Qualcomm Stadium November 14th thru the 16th.
Ike forces NPPL to cancel the Houston event. Mike Paxson hosts clinic & 3-man instead.
Mike and I got here a few days before Hurricane Ike arrived. Although the hurricane was only a Category 2, it was still enough to do enough damage to the City of Houston. We decided to stay until the day we were going to leave, which is Sept 23.
So, World Champion Mike Paxson of the Ironmen will be at Tank’s Katy Paintball this weekend.
Saturday, Sept 20:
CLINIC
10am - 4pm
$75/player
If you sign up as a 3, 5, or 7-man team, you get in for $60 each.
Paint cost - $40
Sign up the morning of the clinic.
It’ll be worthwhile. You’ll definitely learn something.
Also,
Sunday, Sept 21:
3-MAN PUMP TOURNAMENT
Mike wants to play in it, and if you have a pump, and need to work on your one-shot skills, attend the tournament for $100 a team. Prizes will be given. And Mike is playing in the tournament, too. So, practice AGAINST the pro. 
It’ll be good training and alot of fun.
For directions to the field, go to http://www.TanksPaintball.com
See you then.
Sincerely,
Bea
Destiny & Miami Rage Practice at Oasis in Ft. Myers, FL
Big Thanks to Art Mendoza and the boys of Miami Rage. We love Miami Rage, especially their D2 team, and look up to these guys. See you in Houston, boys.
Also, we have to say THANKS to our home field in Florida to Craig, the owner of Oasis Paintball in Ft. Myers. They really have outstanding customer service and made things go smoothly all weekend long. Check out Oasis on myspace.

Coach Mike Paxson & Ironmen - Buffalo Super 7 Pro Champs!
Yeah! Coach Paxson won the Buffalo Super 7 event in the Pro division with the mighty Ironmen! Thanks, Mike, for putting up with us during the entire road trip. The road trip was worthwhile, and we thought that the time spent together would’ve put us in the Top 8, so we could see Sunday. But, at least we did better than our showing in Jacksonville. We’ve got two more events in the NPPL and a couple smaller tournaments to compete in, so we’re not giving up the fight… we’ll never give up as team Destiny will always exist.
Next up: Aug 23-24, Miami Rage is coming to Ft. Myers, FL, to practice us. Miami Rage won the D2 Championship in Buffalo and before that, they shared the Championship with Go-For-Broke in D2 at the Jax event. Come on out and play with us on Saturday morning for a mini-clinic.

Visits @ Long Island’s Cousins & High Velocity
I visited with Cousins Paintball to say Hello and stayed with them for several hours before going back to Angie’s house to get the rest of the girls. Mike wasn’t feeling well, so we left him behind and took off for High Velocity.
We got to High Velocity in Bay Shore, Long Island, New York, at around the same time that the sun was setting. Local teams were scrimmaging in preparation for Buffalo Super 7.

Destiny Northeast Road Trip

View Larger Map
Mike’s in the driver’s seat, I’m the navigator. Brittany traveled with us to Baltimore, Maryland, from Tampa, Florida, and we got picked up by our good friend, Evan Estrate of Pinokio Hoppers. We toured Alexandria, Virginia, close to where Evan resides, and when we got to Evan’s house, his wife greeted us with delicious foods. Jackie got here and she brought a surprise with her - Katie Kelley! Katie is joining our team again this season as we go into the Buffalo Super 7 event. She’s the only one from the previous roster to play again for Mike and me on Destiny. It’s great having her back.
Before Katie left to go home with her beautiful daughter, Brooklyn, we saw the boys light fireworks after our bellies were full. Now, we’re playing Guitar Hero on the wii unit that Jackie brought with her for the trip.
We’re heading out to Canada early in the morning to beat the 4th of July traffic. We’re going towards Gananoque, Canada, where this weekend’s CXBL (CXBL stands for Canadian XBall League) event will be held. Mike, Becky, and Brittany are playing with the Scorpians.
Stay tuned. After this, we’ll be at the following places:
Bea, Mike, and The Girls of Destiny hosts day-clinic ZJ Paintball in New Jersey for July!

Before we list the details of where we plan to travel to from July 4th until July 21st, we first want to make the announcement that we’re hosting a fun-filled day of paintball at South Hackensack, New Jersey’s, ZJ Paintball!
If you can’t make it to this July clinic and don’t live near (or don’t want to fly into the New Jersey/New York area), look below. We’re conducting a clinic in the Boston, Massachusetts, area at Fox4 Paintball in June!

Destiny’s Maryland Clinic was a Success!
Thanks to everyone that attended the Maryland Clinic hosted at the Ft. Detrick Paintball field. Jackie Lon did a great job promoting the event. Evan Estrate of Pinokio also brought a grip of people with him and Mike Melaski’s team, Outbreak, attended the clinic, as well. Mike Paxson instructed the clinic and did the usual phenomenal job. We had a great time and we are very grateful to all of you for attending the clinic and helping us raise money for the team. Fifty (50) people showed up to play on Saturday. READ MORE

Destiny All-Female Makes History!!!
At the 2008 NPPL Huntington Beach Super 7 event, Destiny is the first all-female team to make it to Sunday since the inception of the NPPL Super 7! During the prelims, we won 6 games out of 8. Going into the quarter-finals, we were in the 14th place seat out of the 32 teams competing in D2. We matched up against Ground Control in a best two out of three situation quarter-finals. The first game was a draw and we were actually up in bodies (6 up) against their last 4, but bodies alive at the end doesn’t count. In this season’s quarter-finals, it’s just based on wins and losses and in order to win, a team has to hang the flag (no points for pulling the flag). Well, needless to say, the outcome was not a favorable one for us, but overall, this was a very successful event considering it was our first event together as a completely new roster. Our next event will be May 3rd at Ft. Detrick Paintball in Frederick, Maryland where we will be hosting a clinic. On May 4th, we have a practice. Then, May 16-18, we’ll be competing once again at the NPPL Jacksonville event.

Destiny Practice in Southern California March 22-23
We’ll be in Southern California the weekend before the first NPPL event of the season, the Huntington Beach Super 7. Tentatively, we’re thinking about going to Hollywood Sports Park in Bellflower, California, the weekend of March 22nd & 23rd. If you’re local to the area, please join us on March 22nd, Saturday, and play some paintball with us as we prep for our first NPPL event together as an all-female team.
