"May 29, 2007 -- USA/BIP Select Team Arrives "Home" to Buenos Aires with the Argentinean National Team"
For the 3rd consecutive year, Bring It Promotions, under sanction by the USA Volleyball Federation, has the USA/BIP Developement Team in Argentina to spar with the Argentinean National Team prior to their summer competition schedule. The team not only has the good fortune to play 6 matches against Argentines, but also to travel with them as one big delegation for the duration of their time out of Buenos Aires.
Apart from the captial of Buenos Aires, the tour will take them to:

As in past years, this USA/BIP Team comprises top collegiate players that are not with the USA Training Team, A2, or Junior National Team this summer. We work from a list provided by USAV which includes the top players from USA Tryouts this year.
Coaching the team are Charlie Wade (UOP) and Oscar Crespo (San Jose State), and the Delegation Leaders are David Kniffin (BIP/UC Irvine Men) and Horacio "Pichu" di Scuilla (Argentine Federation and Banco Nación).
In the menu box (upper right hand corner of your screen) we have our daily journal with photos, DataVolley Statistics, and updates as usual.

Quote from Tom Pingel, USA Volleyball
"This is the eighth year that USA Volleyball has recognized a trip of this nature organized and managed by Bring It Promotions (BIP). The experience gained by the athletes and coaches simply can not be obtained through domestic play. The USAV/BIP partnership has worked well in that USA recommends coaches and athletes for invitation and Bring It provides post-trip reports on everyone on the trip. I'm confident that the 2007 experience will equal or surpass those of past years."
