The January Tour has proved year after year to be the best way to find a team in Europe for the 2nd half of the season: January to March/April/May. Typically, players who come on tour to stay and play find teams and this was another great year for placements. It is important to note that we also send players directly from this tour to the shorter duration Pro Leagues in Indonesia (~February to ~April), Argentina (~January to ~March) and Puerto Rico (January to April). The following placements were made on this years tour:
Emily Brown signed in Doprastav Bratislava, Slovakia
Katie Weidner signed in OK Vinkovci, Croatia
Christina Perkins signed in Gislaved VK, Sweden
Liesl Tesch signed in Gislaved VK, Sweden
Ashley Genslak signed in PSvG Salzburg, Austria
Stefanie Alde signed in CV Cide Mallorca, Spain
Rene Ibekwe signed in VC Tirol, Austria
Kelley Wernert signed in Popsivo, Indonesia
Bethany Johansen signed in VT Bellinzona, Switzerland
Robin Miramontes signed in CV Torrelavega, Spain
Brynn Maurer signed in TV Villingen, Germany
Kim Fletcher signed in ATSC Klagenfurt, Austria
Whitney Evers turned down an offer to play in Klagenfurt (to finish school)
Amy Palash turned down offers to play in Salzburg and Indonesia
Congrats to everyone that found a team!
Others were able to see what playing in Europe is all about and will be ready to return in the Fall for the 2009-2010 season.
