Over New Year's Holiday 2008-2009, BIP will host three u16 and three u18
women's teams in the 5th Annual BIP New Year's Bash. This "Tour" is actually
a set of two International Tournaments and will boast some great volleyball
against some of the top Youth and Juniors Clubs in Europe.
All teams will land in Venice, Italy and will drive 90 minutes to
participate in the Volley Festival on the Adriatic Coast in Izola, Slovenia.
The 14th Edition of the Volley Festival boasts at least 10 total teams in
each age division over 3 nights. All teams will spend New Year's Eve on the
Pohorje Mountain in Maribor, Slovenia. From there we have a small change
from past years as we'll head back to Italy and play in another tournament
in Pordenone and Beluno, Italy. A full day trip to Venice will take place
during these last days.
Cost of the trip is $1750/person + own airfare. We are limited to three u16
and three u18 teams from the USA. This price covers all meals (except for 6
lunches which are "on your own"), lodging, transportation (excluding airfare
to Europe), trainings, team sightseeing, etc. Optional skiing and ski
rentals, spa treatment or massages in Maribor, souvenirs, postcards, and
phone calls are among the short list of things not covered.
There is no limit to the size of a team's delegation. There is a $1000
non-refundable team deposit due by July 15th, 2008.
