COVID-Related Considerations Ahead of Registration

Volleyball Canada’s COVID-19 Update on Vaccinations

The health and safety of Volleyball Canada’s athletes, staff, and community is our priority. VCsupports the use of Health Canada approved vaccines as a key tool in reducing the spread of COVID-19 and its associated health impacts.

In requiring proof of vaccine status, VC will follow the guidance of local authorities as well as our partner facilities, which may be more stringent than regional guidelines. We understand that this may vary across the country, and we ask our participants to be respectful of COVID mitigation strategies in their respective regions and facilities, and when travelling outside their local area.

As has been the case during the pandemic, Volleyball Canada will continue to evaluate its guidelines on a regular basis.

VC has compiled the following resources for you to reference the requirements in each of the host cities and provinces for the 2022 Volleyball Canada Youth National Championships. Please review this information prior to travelling to the tournament.

• Municipal guidelines

Travel Planning considerations

Whereas there will be many unknowns leading up to 2022 Nationals, teams are encouraged to contact Elayne Pink regarding anticipated travel needs prior to booking in an effort to determine possible flight blocks. This will allow Absolute Travel to navigate the currently uncertain air travel industry and secure the required number of seats for Nationals' participants.

• Ensure you fully understand the cancellation policy on all travel bookings
• Book via our preferred partner, Absolute Travel Specialists
  • They have a strong understanding of plans for air carriers accessing various cities
  • They have the ability to negotiate better cancellation policies should Nationals be cancelled
  • They will contact air carriers directly regarding any major changes which in turn saves teams time and effort

Hotel planning considerations

All teams will be required to book accommodations as per the Stay to Play policy.  Should Nationals be cancelled by VC for COVID-19 reasons, teams will not be responsible for any hotel room costs from bookings through HTG or Event Connect. Any booking/service fees may be returned in the form of a credit towards future travel. All room cancellations will be managed directly by HTG or Event Connect; teams will not be required to follow up on hotel cancellations.

Any rooms booked outside of the Stay to Play policy will be subject to the hotel’s cancellation policy.

Refund Policy

Should Nationals be cancelled by VC for COVID-19 reasons, teams will receive a full refund for registration and event passes minus an administration fee. Further details will be provided at a later date. 

How to keep informed

Official COVID-19 notices will be posted on our website and relayed via our Nationals newsletter.

Team contacts, coaches, players, and parents are also encouraged to follow our social media platforms for related updates.

Rosters

All players and team staff participating at Nationals MUST be the same as those listed on the roster for their PTA Championship.

Update for 2022 - All team rosters will be provided directly to VC via the PTA following the PTA roster lock and/or Championships therefore teams will not be required to upload their roster into the Volleyball Registration System (VRS). Any players or team personnel not participating at the VC National Championships must be removed from the roster at check-in.

Important Reminder! The roster lock date for teams from New Brunswick who are attending Nationals will be April 7th 2022 (registration closing date).

Updated May 6, 2022 (If dated prior to May 6 - no update)

If you do not see your team name please email nationals@volleyball.ca with the following information

• Team Name
• Club Name
• Province
• Email address and name of the person who added the team to the waitlist

With some events filling quickly, waitlists will come into effect as soon as the age category reaches initial capacity. Teams will be invited to join the event from the waitlist as spots become available in the order in which they registered onto the waitlist. 

Please note that registration does not open at event capacity. VC sets the waitlist at a lower capacity to manage team numbers.

Waitlisted teams will be invited to attend in the order in which they registered onto the waitlist as per the following:

• A team withdraws from the event
• Enough teams are on the waitlist to expand the event
• Additional space available to expand the event

Once sufficient teams have been added to the waitlist, additional teams will be added to the event. In most cases, teams are added off of the waitlist within 24 hours of registration opening.  Once the event reaches capacity, teams will then be added off of the waitlist as additional space is identified, or if a team withdraws from the event.

Any teams playing up by 1 or more divisions from their declared age category must wait until 12 PM (noon) on March 2, 2022 to register for the older age group. This is to give all “of-age” teams a chance to register in their appropriate age group. Any team found in violation of this rule will be subject to removal from the tournament. If a team wishes to play up but the event fills before the play-up registration date, the team can register onto the waitlist at 12 PM (noon) on March 2nd.

Example: a 14U girls team may register for the Halifax Nationals on February 25th. If that team wishes to also play in the 15U Nationals in Edmonton they must wait until March 2nd to register for that event. If the 14U girls team plans to only compete in 15U Nationals, they must still wait to register until the March 2nd registration.

If you wish to withdraw from Nationals, please complete the Team Withdrawal Form.

Teams who wish to withdraw from Nationals will be eligible for a refund as per the following timelines:

The registration closing date for the 2022 Nationals is April 7, 2022.

Volleyball Canada’s Stay to Play policy is in effect for the 2022 Indoor National Championships. This means that all participating travelling teams are required to book hotel rooms through the event’s Accommodation Management Provider (AMP), in order to be eligible to play in the tournament.

For more information on the Stay to Play policy, please review the Volleyball Canada Stay to Play Overview and our Frequently Asked Questions document.

17UG
18UB
18UG

Nationals is held over three (3) days, with Day 1 being pool play, Day 2 being power pools and Day 3 being playoffs. Day 1 and 2 are separated into two waves, AM wave (7:30 am – 2:30 pm) and a PM wave (2:45 pm – 9:45 pm) while Day 3 has all teams starting in the morning. During the first 2 days, teams play all other teams within their pools. After the first day of competition is complete, teams are “re-pooled” for day 2 of the competition in order to group teams of similar calibre together. Day 3 playoffs consist of teams playing in a single-elimination playoff bracket.

Each team will only play in one wave per day.

Please note that some 14U and 16U boys and/or girls teams may shift their wave time (am or pm) based on movement within the pools From Day 1 to Day 2.  This is due to the new tier-based schedule which allows teams to move up or down based on their wins/losses.   It is important that coaches review their placings at the end of their wave to determine their match time the following day.  This is very important for any teams playing in the PM wave on Day 1 as they may then play in the AM wave on Day 2. 

Please also note that the playoff schedule for 16U will run later than normal due to the tier-based schedules. VC recommends that all teams book their return travel as late as possible on playoff day or the day following playoffs to ensure that teams do not miss their finals.

For more information regarding schedules please review the Competition Guide.

New for 2022! VC will be piloting a new ‘Tier-based’ schedule for the 14U and 16U age categories. 

The purpose of this schedule is to allow for more meaningful competition between teams participating at Nationals. This will be achieved by removing the divisions of 32 teams and having teams compete in groups of 16.  Movement between the groups will allow teams to play closer to their own calibre throughout the entire tournament and the opportunity for lower-seeded teams to move up the rankings.

The 'Division based' schedule will be used for the 15U, 17U and 18U age categories.

VC strives to release draft schedules one month prior to the event start date. Final schedules are posted on ISET once all teams have checked in the evening prior to the competition start date. Please note that draft schedules are subject to change and teams are required to verify the final schedule to ensure they are on time for matches.

Explore Edmonton

Welcome to Edmonton. We camp with bison, party under the aurora, and surf on the prairies. From the continent’s first, biggest and wildest Fringe Theatre Festival to a shopping mall that at one time had more submarines than the Canadian navy, Edmontonians have never been afraid to do things a little differently.

Why is Edmonton different? There are theories. Maybe it’s our northern home, where for years we’ve learned to make our own fun. Perhaps it’s our legacy of entrepreneurs dreaming up oddities: deep freezer races, winter patios and surfing indoors. Perhaps it’s the foundation of natural beauty, from which we’ve built something great. Take your taste buds on a journey to some of the hottest craft beer taprooms and hyper-local bistros, experience the glory of the northern lights from our dark sky preserves, or cruise through North America’s largest stretch of urban parkland. There’s a uniqueness to how Edmontonians do ordinary things, and we welcome you to be a part of it.

Safe Sport Reporting

Volleyball Canada has zero tolerance for any type of abuse. Individuals are required to report abuse or suspected abuse to Volleyball Canada or to a Provincial/Territorial Association so that those matters can be addressed in an expeditious manner.

For more information, please see the Safe Sport Complaint Process Overview.  Reports can be made to Volleyball Canada’s Independent third-party Safe Sport Officer at lise@wiserworkplaces.ca or (519) 900-6813, or by contacting the Canadian Sport Helpline:

Education

Volleyball Canada is requiring that all individuals involved with the sport across the country take the new safe sport training module, available via the Coaching Association of Canada website.
 
As of April 1, 2020, anyone associated with a Sport Canada-funded organization must be trained on conduct to prevent and address maltreatment. This includes coaches, referees, parents of youth athletes, high-performance staff and contractors, officials; and all administrative staff and volunteers whether they may have direct contact with athletes or not. 

Through the adoption of VC’s Pan Canadian Safe Sport policies, all Provincial/Territorial Association registered coaches, referees, staff/contract members and volunteers, are required to take approved Safe Sport Training. VC also currently mandates training for parents of Youth National Team Program athletes, however, PTA’s currently implement safe sport training requirements for parents of youth athletes in their province and it is not currently included in the Volleyball Registration System and is not a requirement for registration for National Championships.

The safe sport module is a free, 90-minute eLearning module that gives all participants the tools to recognize, address, and prevent maltreatment in sport. The module aligns with the principles of the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport and meets Sport Canada requirements for Safe Sport education.

Background Screening

All coaches, staff members, volunteers, referees, team staff members and Integrated Support Team (IST) members involved in VC domestic competitions are required to have completed a criminal record/police check issued within 36 months of the activity being attended.  These requirements apply to all disciplines.
