6th Annual BIP New Year’s Bash - December 27, 2009 to January 6, 2010
This year’s New Year’s Bash will again start in Venice, Italy, but instead of playing in the Volley Festival in Izola, Slovenia we’ll be hosting a tournament in the Istria Region of Croatia. The format will guarantee more matches against foreign teams for the USA teams that participate. We’ll then spend New Year’s on Maribor’s Pohorje Mountain as we have in the past, and then end the trip in Budapest, Hungary where we will be hosting the Budapest Cup with teams from the region.
