Our two most popular and successful Exposure Tours are the annual January European Exposure Tour (Women) and the August Fire Sale (From 2018, this too will be Women only). Because the European volleyball season starts in September and typically ends in April or May, European teams usually sign foreign players during 3 periods:
April/May: Organized teams will often sign experienced players or resign current players when the season is over. Then they break for summer and there is often little signing action during June and July
August: Prior to the start of the season, many rookies or 1st time players get signed. This period can extend into September as many leagues in Europe are starting later in the year due to economic issues.
January: This is the beginning of the 2nd half of the season, and many teams hire players to replace injured or pregnant players from the first half, or to beef up in preparation for playoffs.
This calendar is why we host our two Exposure tours in January and August.
