== Destiny Paintball ==

=== Formation (2004) ===

In 2004, Bea Youngs and Mike Paxson established '''Destiny Paintball''', originally conceived as an all-female tournament team.

The organisation subsequently adopted predominantly female rosters, occasionally incorporating male players in order to compete in mixed divisions at national tournaments.[2]

Destiny participated in NPPL competition, principally in Division 2.

In 2005, the team finished seventh in the overall NPPL Division 2 standings, according to a retrospective written by Paxson.[6]

In 2006, Destiny won the Division 2 championship at the NPPL San Diego Super 7 tournament.

The team subsequently finished second in the overall 2006 NPPL Division 2 season standings.[2][6]

Destiny continued competing through 2007 and 2008, including appearances with an entirely female roster.

At the 2008 NPPL Huntington Beach tournament, the team finished 15th of 53 Division 2 teams.[2]

=== Return to competition (2012) ===

Following a period of inactivity after the 2008 season, Paxson returned to competition in December 2011.

In March 2012, she competed alongside former Destiny players Kat Secor and Katie Kelley, joining members of the Norwegian team Poison Ivy at the NPPL Surf City USA Open in Huntington Beach.[7]

The experience preceded the re-establishment of Destiny for the 2012 tournament season.

The returning organisation included players from its earlier rosters, including Secor, Kelley, Brittany Wagoner, Jackie Lon and Becky Rai.[2]

=== 2013 championship ===

In October 2013, Destiny won the Division 4 championship at the NPPL World Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The result was reported as a championship victory for an entirely female roster.[8]

During 2014, the organisation expanded its activities through separate East Coast and West Coast teams.

Paxson continued serving as team owner, player and manager.

Destiny entered teams in events including the NPPL Surf City Open and the East Coast Women's three-player tournament in Georgia.[9]
