Our goals were to educate the girls on tour about playing in Europe, get them as much exposure as possible in Spain, to play as many Spanish teams as possible that had Americans on the team to meet them and learn about their experiences, and also to place as many players as possible for the following season.
The teams that we played that had Americans:
CajaSur Cordoba (FEV), home of Cayley Thurlby (Hawaii) and Ashley Michaels (Kansas): www.cvcordoba.com
Algar Sur Menor/Cartagena, home of Kaui Salzman (St. Mary's), Tiffany Graham (Minnesota State), and Rashinda Reed (Georgia): no site
