The difficulty and expense of getting into the country seems to be the biggest, practically only, barrier to foreigners...
...threat of war forced Peljto and her family to flee to Slovenia. It was there, at the age of 11, that she first picked up a basketball. In 1995, she and her family immigrated to Ottawa, Canada, before moving to Minneapolis, Minnesota. There, she attended Osseo High School and led its team to a state title in her senior year, in addition to setting almost every scoring and rebounding record.
