Hi Teams and Captains,
With fall volleyball (fall-eyball har har) just around the corner we wanted to reach out with a quick update on our league availability and a new league that's been added to our lineup.
Volleyball
NEW! - Monday Mixed 6s @ Lester B. Pearson HS - 6pm and 7pm games!
Flag Football
As always, if you have any questions please drop us an email at admin@ottawavolleysixes.com
- Dan & Matt (Your Ottawa Volley Sixes Team)
We look forward to moving back indoors for the Fall 2022/23 season and hope you will join us! We also have some great new additions to our Fall lineup with our Sunday evening Mixed and Mens leagues at Redeemer CHS, as well as Tuesday evening Flag Football at the Ben Franklin Dome. Registration will open at 9am, Thursday July 14th and your team space can be secured with a deposit of $150.00. See below for a full list of our lineup or at our homepage.
Hello everyone,
As some of you already know, the government has announced that the province will be entering a 28 day lockdown on Boxing Day. As a result team sports and athletic facilities will be temporarily shut down. We have updated the schedules for the leagues impacted by this.
There is also a chance the lockdown will be reduced to 14 days. If that's the case there should be very minor disruption to the league schedules, but we will have to wait on official word of that being the case.
We just wanted to give everyone a quick update on what this means for the current and upcoming leagues.
There will be no games in the current leagues until at least January 28th.
Volley Sixes would like you to know that you can register for our winter leagues with confidence. If we are required to make drastic changes or forced to cancel any leagues we will issue a full refund. As of right now there should be little to no impact on our upcoming league products.
We will send a full update on the leagues once we have more clarity on the situation. Please do not ask us for specific updates just now, as we don't have any further information at the moment.
Hopefully, this gives you the information that you need just now, and we will be able to answer more of your questions soon.
Have a great Christmas,
Andrew, Chris, Joel and Matt and Ryan
Hi everyone,
As some of you already know, the Province has announced that Ottawa will be returning to phase 2 of opening and team sports and scrimmages will be banned for at least 28 days as off midnight tonight.
We just wanted to give everyone a quick update on what this means for the current leagues.
Unless was have greatly misinterpreted the announcement, you can assume that there will be no games in the current leagues until at least November 7th.
Hopefully, this gives you the information that you need just now, and we will be able to answer more of your questions after the weekend,
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone,
Andrew, Chris, Joel and Matt and the Volley Sixes Team
Hello Volley Sixers,
Registration is now open for the Fall 2020 season! With Covid-19 restrictions in place, we have decided to only offer one product this Fall Season at Carleton University. Depending on gym availability and interest from teams, we may expand to other nights of the week, but for the time being will only be offering Thursday Evening Mixed. With nearly 3 months of experience running our soccer leagues this summer during the pandemic, we feel we are well prepared to offer as safe of an environment for volleyball as possible.
Thursday Mixed 6s @ Carleton University - October - 875+HST - 12 Weeks - The backbone of our lineup in past years, Thursdays at Carleton are extremely popular and sell out quickly! The double gymnasium has outdoor access which will allow us to circulate outside air within the gym, as well as separate entrances to control access. Free parking located a short walk from the Carleton gyms at Brewer Park (entrance off Bronson Ave.). As always, your team space can be secured with a $150.00 deposit.
Other League Nights: Depending on availability at Carleton University and registrations, we may be open to adding additional days/products at Carleton University. We are in constant communication with Carleton and we will keep our participants up to date on any additional nights. Other League Locations: While we may expand to other facilities in the winter (January onwards) but feel that a gradual relaunch of our leagues is prudent at this stage. We enjoy a great relationship with Carleton and are extremely comfortable with the facility, giving us the confidence to offer a safe and enjoyable experience.
Individual Spaces: There will be no individual player spaces for the Fall season. If you wish to play but do not have a team please post on our Forum or send us an email.
COVID Policies & Protocols (click here for our full list) - The following rules/regulations will apply to our leagues to ensure the safety of our staff and participants:
Team Credits & Refunds: All Winter 2020 captains have been allocated a prorated credit for the lost games during that season. To view and access the your credit , captains can log into their Player Profile and select Payments to view the balance. For those who wish to receive a refund, please email Andrew at admin@ottawavolleysixes.com. We will be processing refunds in the next week or two.
Individual Player Credits & Refunds: For those individual players registered to our league run Individual Teams, we will issuing credits for the lost games to the person who made payment. Players can view their credit in their Player Profile --> Payments. If you require a refund, please email us directly at admin@ottawavolleysixes.com.
Capacity Limits & Updated Provincial Policy for COVID: We've had a few questions regarding the new provincial limits on gatherings. To clarify, recreational sports do not fall under these restrictions and can operate with a 50 person capacity for indoor facility. Our goal for the upcoming season is to keep the number of people in the gym well below this number, hence our roster limit of 8 players per team at each game.

We have postponed all upcoming games for all leagues for the next couple of weeks during the city-wide shutdown of facilities and activities. These games will be played and will be rescheduled later in the season.
On Friday we took the interim step of postponing the games for this weekend and we planned to see how things developed and make a decision on the rest of the leagues and games on Monday. However, the number of closures and postponements across the city accelerated rapidly as Friday wore on, and there is no point in us waiting until Monday to let teams know that all leagues will be postponed.
We absolutely plan to have these games played and the seasons completed, and we will keep teams informed by e-mail. Obviously there are a lot of unknowns in the situation at the moment but here are some tentative answers to the most frequently asked questions:
1. How long will the winter leagues be suspended for? We are monitoring the situation but the most likely date for resuming is the week of the 5th of April as that seems to be in line with most facilities.
2. Will the winter leagues be completed? Will it be the same number of games? Yes to both parts. If we are assuming a return date of early April, league end dates could be a week or two later than originally planned.
3. Will the spring seasons go ahead? Yes absolutely, but the start and the end date could be a week or two later than originally planned.
Thanks for your patience everyone.
Stay safe and don't forget how big a contribution small things like thorough and regular hand washing, social distancing and self-isolating if you feel unwell, can make to getting us all back to normal,
Andrew, Chris, Dan, Joel and Matt The Ottawa Volley Team

We had some enquiries recently from users who have outlook / hotmail accounts (and other email addresses falling under the Microsoft umbrella).
Please read this full message if you think you aren't receiving our emails.
They had been complaining that certain emails (team notices, fixture reminders) weren't reaching their inbox anymore, not even in the junk or spam folder. We had no bouncebacks on these emails and by all measures at our end they have been delivered successfully.
Microsoft has a number of extra measures in place that filter emails before they reach the user, things we have ZERO control over and it can get a little frustrating trying to track it down. We have raised a support request, but who knows if anything will come of that.
If you think you are having these issues we suggest you add the domain ottawavolleysixes.com to the list of safe senders in your mail configuration as this seems to help.
I was going to send an email out about this, but the irony / paradox that it wouldn't reach those that need to do this was not lost.
Now that the summer is in full swing, we've started looking forward to the fall. The 2016 season has our traditional court Volleyball lineup, as well as the continuation of our Floor Hockey Leagues. Team and individual spaces will be available in all leagues, but please remember spaces sell quickly on our more popular nights. Fall Registration opens Friday, July 22nd for both team and individual sign ups.
The Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday leagues will be broken into skill based divisions and are a great choice for all Recreational, Intermediate and Advanced teams and players. The smaller Monday and Tuesday leagues at Montessori School are classified as Open, single division leagues and better suited to Recreational and Intermediate level teams. All volleyball leagues are fully refereed and include equipment set-up by our staff. Please include any additional placement requests or skill level information in the 'registration notes' section.
We are hoping to add one more weekday league at premium varsity level location. This is yet to be confirmed but we hope to have an announcement early next week.
