Ontario Volleyball has instituted a Stay to Play policy to ensure availability of accommodations for all participants while better managing competition costs. The Stay to Play policy is in effect for all Indoor Ontario Championships.

• All travelling teams (100kms+/one way) are required to book hotel rooms through Hudson Travel Group (HTG Sports) to be eligible to play in the tournament.
• The Clubs mailing address will be used to determine kms to Enercare Centre, Toronto. 
• A team must register in Ontario Championships to be eligible to book accommodations.
• A team will be issued a booking code upon registration, that will need to be used when booking through HTG Sports.
• A team can only block rooms for the event they have just registered in. They cannot pre-book other event dates, prior to registering in the other event.
• The hotel booking process will be phased in, to match the phased OC’s registration
• Ontario Volleyball offers exemptions from the Stay to Play policy for both teams and individuals under the following categories:
  • Proximity Exemption Request: If the team/athlete is based within the specified proximity distance from the competition venue or the team/athlete plans to stay with family or friends that resides within the proximity distance, the team/athlete may be eligible for an exemption from the policy.
  • Special Exemption Request: A Special Exemption Request will need to be completed for all other exemption requests. Requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be reviewed by the Stay to Play Review Committee. This policy has been put in place to benefit teams, local event organizers and Ontario Volleyball alike. To request an exemption please complete the Stay to Play Exemption Form 
  • Note: If your Club falls within 100kms of Enerare Centre in Toronto, and if your Club Team decides to book accommodations, the bookings must be made through Hudson Travel Group (HTG) to use the Toronto Tourism Hotel members. Hudson Travel Group holds all blocks at the hotels and will work with your Team to ensure your needs are met.  The OVA has to report "Heads in Beds" to Destination Toronto to be able to secure funding to offset the facility rental costs to make this large event happen. Thank you for your support in bringing bigger and better events to Ontario Volleyball members!

Teams traveling in excess of 300kms (one way) will be reimbursed at a rate of $0.49/kms per vehicle (maximum 2 vehicles) from the 301st kms onwards.
