Americans on draft
American players (limit for foreigners – maximum 25 years of age and 3 years of professional experience) were selected via tryout in Anaheim and afterwards by the draft.
The worst placed teams in the regular part of the last season had the right to choose as first.
These are the results of the draft in Korean V-League:
KGC Daejeon: Hayley Spelman (Zeta System Urbino Volley/ITA)
Seoul GS Caltex Kixx: Katherine Bell (University of Texas)
Pink Spiders: Taylor Simpson (University of Colorado)
Suwon Hyundai Engineering & Construction: Emily Hartong (Volero Zürich/SUI)
IBK Altos: Liz McMahon (Illinois)
Hi-pass Zenith Korea Expressway: Leslie Cikra (University of Tennessee)
Therefore, all the foreign players that participated in Korean championship in the season 2014/2015 are on the market: Joycinha, Eckerman, Rourke, Rahimova (probably goes to Japan), Hooker and Fawcett.
Hear the statement of Katherine Bell, the new player of GS Caltex, after the draft:

Will it be the same also for men?
AXE, I believe it only applies for the women’s league, at least for the next season. It seems very bizarre to me that they only let Americans play for their league.
