Interested players will need to submit a video (see video rules on the site), a letter of recommendation from their coach, and a senior season media guide along with a short, informal volleyball resume. All players also need to have a SIGNED PLAYER REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT on file with Bring It Promotions before joining the tour. The
cost of the tour will be $750 for new players and $500 for returning
clients (or past tour participants). This cost will cover the
following: A “Welcome Dinner” on the first night,
one hot meal for each day that we play a match, transportation
in Europe, a place to sleep each night (BRING A SLEEPING BAG)
starting Monday night, August 16 and ending Sunday afternoon,
August 24, some sort of breakfast each day, and a chance to get
a job during the 14 day trip. Due to overcrowding on past tours, and the lack of jobs available in the current market, I will attempt to accept only 14 players per team on this trip (14 men and 14 women). Each team will attempt to travel with 2 setters, 4-5 swings, 2-3 opposites, 4-5 middles and possibly one true libero. I will not overload positions this year, but if we have excess demand, some players may be invited to join the tour at it’s halfway point (assuming that some players are placed along the way). The focus of the 2004 Summer Tour/Camp will be training and playing top volleyball and having each player learn and improve each day so that they have a chance to get a job. It is very important to arrive IN SHAPE as we will train double days for the first 4 days for sure. Sightseeing and going out at night will not be priorities as they have been in the past. Players that do not have a job at the end of these 14 days will be on their own. You have the choice (of course) to stay in Europe and travel (and email me for updates on the job scene) or to go home and “wait”. Players that make the effort to go on tour will have a priority on all new jobs, but this tour DOES NOT guarantee a job. All players that want “job updates” after the tour understand that email is our #1 method of contact during the busy months of July-September. The tour will finish in Munich, Germany on the 29th of August. That is a Sunday. After breakfast, the vans will go to Munich Airport and all players will be dropped off there before noon. This signifies the end of the tour. The vans will proceed to Maribor, Slovenia to be returned and any player that wants a ride to Slovenia is welcome to end their tour there of course. Please keep in mind that many players are also sent off on tryouts during the tour so there are options all over Europe – not only where we play. The 2003 Men’s Tour saw players sent to Gronigen, Eindhoven, and Zwolle, Holland; Soria and Malaga, Spain; Ottinois, Belgium; and Rottenburg and Salgau, Germany; etc. The cost of these personal side trips is decided on a case by case basis. Generally the inviting team pays for the ticket. In some cases, the tour will pay, and in some cases players will be asked to pay. If this is the case, a player may of course decide not to go. It is important that the costs of all side trips (and the return costs to the tour if needed) be discussed between the player and tour leader (and team) before a player accepts any one-way ticket. The costs of food and lodging should also be discussed. Players are not given per-diem for their time on personal tryouts and players waive all rights to meals/lodging/transportation from the tour when on their own. As stated above, these costs are generally paid by the inviting team, but these details need to be clearly known on a case by case basis for a player leaves on a personal tryout or side trip.
