The Hotel Pula has wireless Internet access, so you can bring your laptop.

Opening Ceremonies: The ceremonies will be held in the town square of Pula on the evening of July 18, 2010 at 9 pm.  It will be hot, so all we ask is that teams have on matching shirts. It is fine to wear shorts. We ask that each team bring a flag from their country.

 Again, exact details for the tournament will come one week before the tournament.

Age limits. In general the age requirements for the Global Challenge are 19 and under. However, because of the special nature of this tournament it will be allowed for teams to have a player or two over this age limit. Remember the main purpose of this tournament is to provide the best possible volleyball at the highest level instead of following very strict age limits.
