UPDATE (October 1, 2020) – We are pleased to announce that the new OVA Membership Registration System (MRS) is now live! Please visit https://mrs.ontariovolleyball.org/Account/Login to register as an OVA member. Effectively immediately, the National Registration System (NRS) will no longer be used. The OVA Membership Registration System (MRS) will replace the existing NRS and will be the primary source for OVA membership, tournament and event registration. The system will provide OVA members with an upgraded interface and improved functionality for an enhanced experience while introducing some new changes. Such changes include:
The MRS system uses a member’s email address as their user ID, so each member must have a unique email address to register. If parents have more than one child and would like to have all OVA/MRS emails and correspondence directed to them, their MRS account can be set up with each of their children’s email addresses as the usernames while the parent’s email can be entered as the contact email. Alternatively, Gmail accounts provide the ability to set up a number of unique Gmail email addresses that will all go to one home account by adding “+1” (or “+2” or “+3”, etc.) to the end of the email address. For example, OVAtest@gmail.com will receive all emails using OVAtest+1@gmail.com or OVAtest+2@gmail.com, etc. Parents can use these types of Gmail account variations as the user IDs for multiple children in MRS. The online registration link will be located on the OVA’s Become a Member page along with a comprehensive series of How to Guides to help members navigate the new system. Questions regarding the MRS have been included in the OVA’s August 17th Town Hall FAQ and additional information can be found in the 2020-21 What’s New document. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact Chery Bennett (cbennett@ontariovolleyball.org) or call 416-426-7316.  Good afternoon,
The introduction of the OVA's new membership registration system (MRS) has unfortunately experienced a further delay. The new release date will be announced shortly as we are waiting for further information from our service provider. We do not anticipate the delay to be significant. In the meantime, the OVA will continue to hold over your membership from the 2019/2020 season to cover athletes and staff who are currently participating in Club programming. Once the new registration system is live, all individuals must complete their 2020/2021 online registration in MRS in order to continue to participate in Club activities. We will share the MRS link with all members once the system is live. While you are not required to complete any online registrations at this time, your Club will ask you to sign the OVA COVID-19 Waiver (attached) in order to participate in Club activities. Note: Please do not attempt to register in NRS as memberships will not be carried over into the new system. If you have any questions please feel free to contact info@ontariovolleyball.org. Thank you for your patience and understanding! OVA Hello All,

Jason Evans Northern Chill Volleyball President Hello All,
I hope all is well. As of today we have secured the YMCA for the 2020/2021 try-outs. We will commence tryouts this upcoming weekend (Saturday September 19th & 20th). I apologize for the short notice. We understand that some kids may have to work this weekend and parents may have had plans that conflict with these tryouts. If your child is unable to attend the tryouts this weekend please let us know. All children will be given an equal opportunity during tryouts. The Technical Team and Coaches are meeting tomorrow night to finalize the tryout schedule. A communication will be circulated on Thursday outlining the tryout time, Location, and Age Groups. If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact us. Take Care, Jason Evans Hello All,
I attended our first board meeting on Wednesday September 9, 2020. During this meeting it was brought forward by my peers on the board that the communication I put out on September 4th was not completely aligned with the constitution. The two bylaws that were referenced are: 5.1.6 The positions of President and Director of Administration/Media Relations shall be elected at the Annual General Meeting on even numbered years; and the positions of Treasurer and Director of Operations shall be elected at the Annual General Meeting on odd numbered years. Roles commence at the conclusion of the respective AGM. Under section 5.8 Duties of Directors: 5.8.3 No Board member has authority to act unless directed to do so by the Board of Directors. The Board felt that the only positions that should be up for nomination this year are the Director of Admin/Media Relations and the Treasurer. As a result of this a vote was required and the Board voted that the bylaws referenced were applicable. The rationale for this was that the amendment #9 that passed during the AGM stated we need to nominate and elect the board at the AGM, and this was not done. We did discuss the fact that there are bylaws within the constitution that contradict each other. The Board has agreed we will review the constitution and bring forward amendments at our next AGM for voting in order to address this. In summary the only roles up for nomination are the Director of Admin/Media Relations and the Treasurer. Director of Admin/Media Relations was due for renewal given it is an even year. The Treasurer is up for renewal due to the fact that Liandra has tendered her resignation which is effective once a new Treasurer is nominated and elected. Please respond to myself only and advise as to whether or not you will attend the special board meeting. this meeting will not be an attend in person meeting. We are simply asking for 1 hour of your time in order to elect a treasurer and Director of Admin/Media Relations. All associated timelines for nominations, posting of nominations, and the special meeting are still applicable (see below). Nominations - Monday September 7th to Monday September 14th. Nominations Posted - Tuesday September 15th to Tuesday September 22nd Special Meeting - Tuesday September 22nd at 7:30pm (meeting to be held via zoom) Announcement of New Board - Wednesday September 23rd. If you have any questions feel free to contact the Board (Carrie Welsh - Dir Ops, James Schweyer - Tech Dir, Liandra Hunt - Treasurer, Jason Evans - President) I apologize for the confusion and any inconvenience this may cause the membership. Take Care, Jason Evans President Northern Chill Volleyball Club Hello All,
As per the amended constitution the following positions must now be filled through a nomination and election process. The vacant positions that we are accepting nominations for are the Treasurer, Director of Operations, and the Director of Admin/Media Relations. This has been posted on our social media sites so that people can fill in nomination applications. As per the constitution we are required to post these nominations for 7 consecutive days prior to a vote taking place. Given these positions were not voted in during the AGM we will be required to call a special meeting in order to elect the roles of Treasurer, Direction of Operations, and the Director of Admin/Media Relations. We require a minimum of 53 people at this meeting in order to achieve Quorum. Please respond to myself only and advise as to whether or not you will attend the special board meeting. This meeting will not be an attend in person meeting. We are simply asking for 1 hour of your time in order to elect the Treasurer, Director of Operations, and the Director of Admin/Media Relations.
