( WNXL continued from page 81 ) The Heroines were head-coached by Brad McCurley . With this debut of the first women ’ s pro division comes the resurgence of the historical team , Femmes Fatale , led by Tami and Todd Adamson of history ’ s original Extreme Rage . The Femmes first made their mark in 2000 and continued to stay in the scene for a good 6-7 years thereafter and have been on a sabbatical . They have rostered members like Andrea Martinez , Karla Andrade , Monica Lopez , Dee Tucker , and had 15 rostered members at the WNXL Exhibition , which included paintballers from Colombia , Mexico , and the USA .
Destiny Paintball has been around since 2004 and has been the only paintball organization to have been promoting female participation for 15 years . Bea Paxson with the help from her former pro playing husband , Mike , have managed Destiny all this time . Destiny took a break for about 3 years after the 2008 season ’ s conclusion , but returned in 2012 with an all-female roster until 2018 when Destiny became an organization of many regional paintball teams mostly across the country , but overseas in Hawaii and Scotland . Destiny not only has regional teams competing both at nationals and regional events held mostly in the USA , but they continued the tradition to have their flagship all-female line specifically named “ Lady Destiny ” that has competed at NXL events in 5v5 formats within both D3 and D4 divisions .
Dallas Vibe ’ s team come from the Paintball Fit camp out of Texas , headed by the paintball couple , JD & Sarah Luckau , who are also the owners of Hydra Fit Gear . They have help from Johnny , who is also assisting in putting together a strong local Texan paintball line and train often at their state-of-the-art tournament paintball training facility .
Dave Bains of Capital Edge Paintball Park will also be a part of the WNXL with the Sacramento Diamonds with the help from Grrl on Grrl Paintball team ’ s Allison Cook . Most of their players all hail from the Sacramento , California area and it ’ s their goal to have an upcoming tryout to search for more Northern California paintballers within a 500 mile radius . However , they just recently picked up Laura Parcells from Louisiana ’ s Levena Paintball . ●●●
