MRS Registration
MRS stands for the Member Registration System. It is the official online portal used for player, coach, and referee registrations, as well as team and tournament sign-ups.
Important Notes:
- Individuals registering as an Indoor Athlete must have been selected for a team by an affiliated club. The registration deadline is February 1st.
- Indoor Athletes upgrading their membership to Beach Athlete do not have to pay the OVA and Volleyball Canada membership fees again - it is a FREE upgrade in MRS.
- Athletes are required to register as a tryout player (free membership) in order to tryout with their Clubs.
Athletes (6v6 to 18U) will subsequently be required to upgrade to a full competitive player membership ($102.34) prior to competing in any OVA-delivered event. The 4v4 athletes will be required to upgrade to a Recreational Player membership ($13.04).
- All referees and coaches must also meet the requirements of their respective eligibility policies.
- Individuals registering as an Official must be carded as an Official in order to register.
- Individuals registering in more than one membership category will only pay the greater of the fees being incurred.
When membership roles are added later, individuals will pay an additional fee only if there's a difference between the fees already paid and the fees for the new role(s) being added to their account.
