OVA Announces 2025 Tryout Window Policy Release Date

The Ontario Volleyball Association (OVA) will be releasing the 2025 Tryout Window Policy on March 31, following a review and discussions with the Indoor Development Committee and the Youth Competitions staff. It has been determined that the 2025 policy will remain consistent with the framework established in 2024. The Tryout will be released to our clubs and their administration first, followed by our general membership.

Given the significant adjustments made to the policy last year, the committee recognized the importance of maintaining consistency to allow clubs to fully understand and operate within the established guidelines. This stability ensures that athletes, coaches, and clubs can continue adapting to the framework without the challenge of navigating further modifications.

Additionally, the decision to keep the policy unchanged aligns with the ongoing Sport for Life Competitions Review. With this review currently in progress and set to influence OVA’s competition structure for the 2027-2028 season, we believe that maintaining consistency for another season may provide insights into how the competition review may influence future policy adjustments. By allowing time for this review to unfold, the OVA aims to ensure that any future changes are well-informed and contribute to a more effective policy.

The OVA remains committed to fostering a structured and transparent tryout process that supports the growth and development of volleyball in Ontario. We appreciate the continued engagement and feedback from our member clubs, athletes, and stakeholders as we work together to create the best possible competitive environment.

In an effort to help maximize understanding of the Tryout Window Policy and how to navigate the Tryout Window as a Club, Athlete or Parent, the OVA will be hosting a Town Hall on May 27 at 8PM.

Hosted by OVA Club Services Manager, Carrie Campbell, the aim is to have everyone more informed and comfortable with the policy and process well in advance to the opening of the Tryout Window.
