At the start of the 2007 Season, Desert Edge officially integrated a Junior division of our team. Many standards of conduct on and off the field are expected of these players of ages under 18 years old including grades. We feel this is a great way to mentor the next generation of great paintballers.

Desert Edge JR has many opportunities playing along side with Desert Edge to gain communication skills, work ethic, and honesty. Not to mention the new doors that are opened to get in the public view. Many of the players from Desert Edge JR were the main roles in the SpecialOps Elite Weekend Promo Video.

Desert Edge JR has played along side their Senior Team Mentors in some of the largest games in the state such as Aliens in the Rockies, "Halo" red vs. Blue, and most recently SPPL Utah Qualifier. Desert Edge JR placed in the top 3 at the 2nd Annual Triathlon. Keep an eye out for this group. At a young age, they are already a threat to teams three times their age.

My friends got me into paintball when we were all around 10. After playing a few games with our Wal-Mart guns we stopped playing. Later, a few of my friends started playing again, and we played regularly for a year. We then tried to make a team, which didn't work out very well. Later, Dan invited me and a few of my friends to play on Desert Edge JR, and it has been uphill from there.

I first got into paintball when my buddy in band told me about his neighbor (Dan Saunders), and how much he goes paintballing. So I begged my mom to go buy a gun, and she came home with a brass eagle pump. I used it for quiet a while until I finally got to meet Dan. He invited me to Hillbilly Greed and let me borrow all his gear, and I have been hooked since. I now am on Team Desert Edge Jr, and I hate thinking about how boring my life would be if I didn't get into this great sport. Now I roll with my own gear and have invested alot of my money into this sport, which I don't regret. Paintball Rocks

I started playing paintball about 2 years ago at my friends birthday party. Once I played my first game I was hooked. My first gun was a Tippmann custom pro. Now I use a Dangerouse Power Fusion and love it more than anything.

When I was about 8 my friend named Garret bought a talon ghost and we went into his backyard and shot it and a cardboard box. It was way fun so I saved up my pocket change and bought a $20 blade 02. Well I had fun for a week.. Then it broke. So I returned it. Left the sport for a while, and bought a Stingray about 2 years later. Sold it to Mitch. Then got a 98 the next Christmas. Mitch got a Spyder Rodeo and we played 1v1s and sometimes played with my other friend Shane. We were doing that for about a year. Then we did some scenarios and now I'm on DE JR with my pals and I'm having a blast!!

Nick started paintball when he was eight years old. He has been featured as a "Woodsball Hero" in RECON Magazine. Nick enjoys playing in all positions of the field.

I started playing paintball on my 14th birthday. I started out with just a plain old A-5 and I was hooked. Later I started attending scenarios and playing more and more. My friends were on the team so they convinced me to come and "try-out". After I joined the team I played my first games of speedball. I absolutely loved it and decided then that I want to play paintball for as long as I can stand to walk.

The first time I played was on my tenth birthday. I went to Paintball Adventures. I didn't do well of course because i was only ten...and afraid. Nonetheless, I was hooked. So far I love this team, and I am looking forward to rolling with them in the future.
