This year's Summer Tour will hopefully be the first tour ever to be 100% planned and organized before we set out. Being a Bring It European Tour, this is of course impossible, but we are doing our best. The tour will start on August 18 and 19 with the following pick up spots:
All players must provide their own airplane ticket and I would suggest a one-way ticket for those that are serious about getting a job. Most all players on the Summer Tour will at least get an offer to stay and play. For ticket information please contact Janice Hawxhurst of Your Travel Center (Carlson Wagonlit Partner) at: 1 800 346 6196 or email janice@ytc.com. Be sure to mention that you are a member of a Bring It Promotions tour party. Players that join the tour will pay a fee of $500. This covers the cost of gas, rental vans, hotels, and most meals. We suggest you bring $200-300 spending money for evenings out, road snacks, and the occasional meals that aren't provided for by the host teams. This fee covers you from your starting date until you leave the tour. This year's summer tour is the longest yet so anyone that joins the tour from day 1 and stays through the end will get 30 days in Europe for $500 + a ticket. What a deal! Players that join the tour after the first date but before September 1 will also pay $500 for the duration of their stay. If you arrive after September 1 your fee will depend on the actual date of arrival. This summer's tour will boldly forge a new path into at least two of the following countries: Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, and Croatia. We will also play for sure in Germany, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Czech Republic, Italy (3 dates confirmed), Switzerland and France. We've also added a match in Luxembourg for the first time (See www.volley80.lu/bringit.htm ) which means we'll visit a minimum of 11 countries with a possibility of 13. We will need some players to plan on arriving in the middle of the tour so don't worry if you can't make it at the beginning. When a player gets an offer he wants to accept, he leaves the tour immediately and then we refill his spot. We are also constantly sending players away from the tour for contracts or to go on personal tryouts (or beach tournaments sometimes) so there's always room for someone new. Last summer's tour had 18 different people from beginning to end and we expect over 20 this summer. For those interested in joining the Summer Tour please contact bringitusa@aol.com Here's the tentative schedule as of July 20:
Note: Remember to bring a sleeping bag as we often sleep in gyms, hostels, or packed into hotels. We have official uniforms, but bring plenty of towels, underwear and socks as we don't do laundry too often (other than in the sink). You also need your shoes.
