August Women’s Firesale & Exposure Camp 2012
August 10-19, 2012
Maribor, Slovenia
This year’s Women’s Firesale again used Maribor’s DRAS Center in Slovenia as a base. This place is amazing, with luxurious rooms, a wonderful restaurant and bar, and a volleyball gym in the building; all right on a ski mountain with gorgeous views. This tour was more of camp, but with the goal of simply finding jobs for players directly from the tour.
