Team Registration

To be considered officially registered for the season, all teams must register and pay for their team by Sunday, August 25, 2024.

Teams who register after this date will be placed on a waiting list. Teams on the waiting list will only be accepted in the league if there is space and/or more teams are required in order to facilitate the organization of the qualifying/ranking tournaments.

Team captains (or team owners) are responsible for:

1. Registering the team
2. Inviting players to their roster
3. Ensuring player waivers are completed online
4. Payment of team fee and bond

How to register a team?

Once you are registered as a league member (player, coach, manager, etc.), click the “Register a Team” button. Once you’ve created your team, you will be registered as the team owner / captain and will have access to team management functions.

You may now begin adding players to your roster from the player database. Returning teams can carry forward players from last years team roster.

We recommend that a second team member be granted the “team administrator” role, so they can perform team captain duties when required.

Player / Team Member Registration

Players and team members (Coaches, team managers, team owners, etc.) must register online as a league member, each season. All team member profiles must be fully up-to-date with current contact information and completed waiver forms.

Players will be asked to provide the following information:

• contact information,
• your height,
• positions played,
• volleyball experience,
• division(s) you want to play in,
• your appropriate level of play, and
• your handedness (left or right).

Only join a team you know you’re going to be part of.

Sparing

Spares are individuals who cannot commit to a team but wish to fill in from time to time.

Spares must register as a player and complete all the online information requested. Only captains and team administrators will be able to view this list when inviting players to join their team.

Do not try to join a team unless invited.

All spares must sign the online waivers before playing.

Select the division(s) and tiers you would like to spare for under the Spares / Singles section.

How do I join a team?

The OCVL does not create teams. They are formed by "captains" (or team owners).

If you are invited to a team and registered as a player, click “Join a Team”, select the division and team you wish to join and click “Send Request”. You are not officially on a team until the captain or team administrator accepts your request. Captains or team administrators can also ask registered players to join their team. Players are not officially a part of a team until both the captain and the player have agreed online.

If you are looking for a team to join, visit the OCVL Player and Networking Facebook site to see if a team is looking for players. Then register here as a player and/or spare.

Fees & Payment

The league fees for this year will be $2715.00 per team for the season. The qualifying/ranking tournaments, regular season, and playoffs are included in the league fees. Teams are also required to pay a $150.00 team bond.

The bond fee is a deposit which the league retains to cover any fines during the season for things like uniform violations, defaults, etc. The bond fee is owned by the captain of the team or the team owner and can be transferrable to another player/team, upon the captain or team owners request only. The remaining bond fee is fully refundable the following year if the team does not re-register their team for the following season. The executive director will contact the team captain or team owner and make necessary arrangements to refund the bond amount owing by November of the following season. For returning teams, the remaining bond can be applied to the new season.

For New Teams:
League Fees: ($2715.00 + $150.00) plus HST
Total due: $3237.45

For Returning Teams:
League Fees: $3067.95

Payment of fees is done online using PayPal. All fees are due by Sunday, August 25, 2024. Payments received after this date will result in that team being placed on a waiting list.
