BEAR RIDGE SAINTS: A New Franchise With Big Ambition

The 5th season of the WNXL welcomes a new contender to the Pro division: the Bear Ridge Saints. In a merger between the Georgiabased Bear Ridge Barbies and the WMX Saints from Mexico City, two established organizations were able to pool their talent. Expect this team to be competitive from the start.
Led by Coach Daniel Wilson, the Saints unite players from Georgia, South Carolina, and Mexico into a roster built on discipline, positivity, and competitiveness. Backed by passionate ownership on both sides of the border— including the Stanley family at Bear Ridge Paintball and the Ibarrola family overseeing the MX Saints— the team represents growth, unity, and expanding opportunities for women in the sport.
Every practice is purposeful. Every drill has direction. And the progression of every player is evidence of the rising generation of female athletes stepping into the pro spotlight for the first time. www. paintball. media
