TRYOUTS FAQ

Common questions about tryouts answered here.

Do young athletes need to register with OVA-Ontario Volleyball Association?

INSURANCE and REGISTRATION

All Athletes, Coaches and Club personnel must register in the OVA Membership Registration System (MRS) prior to participating in any OVA or Club activity (including tryouts). This is necessary to ensure compliance with provincial concussion legislation (Rowan’s Law) and to sign off on the online waivers of liability prior to participating in any OVA related activities. Athletes must register as Tryout Players then pay the full membership fee once they accept an offer from a team. 

The MRS registration will officially open on September 1st for the upcoming Season

All OVA membership, tournament, and event registrations are completed online through the Member Registration System (MRS)*

Please Note: Athletes are required to register as a tryout player (free membership) in order to tryout  with their Clubs.

Important for Athletes: Before stepping on the court for tryouts, all athletes must register as a tryout player for $0. This registration is mandatory to sign off on Rowan's Law concussion educational documents, waiver of liability, and other required forms. Your safety and compliance are our top priorities.

For Parents/Guardians: When creating your athlete's MRS account, please ensure you use their name rather than your own when setting up your athlete's account. This ensures proper registration and compliance with all required documentation.

At least one parent or guardian of each player registered in OVA volleyball will need to complete the online RIS Parent Program only once as a condition of participation.  The program is a proactive, educational program that empowers parents with the tools to ensure the game is enjoyable and respectful for themselves, their children, and all other stakeholders in the game. To register, visit
