OUR OWNERS
ayesha shields
My women’s tackle football journey began in 2003 with the AV Bombers and AV Attack. What started as a fitness goal became a deep passion for the game. After a long break, I faced serious health challenges and needed a way to rebuild my strength—football became my lifeline. Finding a way to play football again reignited my love for the sport. Now, I’ve taken my passion further by not only playing, but owning a team. As an owner and leader of SoCal Magic, I’m committed to creating life-changing stories for all women. This sport is more than a game—it’s a force for empowerment and transformation.
Football didn’t just shape me—it saved me. It gave me resilience, teamwork, a healthier life with purpose to push to live. My mission is to grow the sport and empower women to find strength and opportunity through football but also within themselves. I’m building a legacy—because it’s time to create "Herstory."
