About the OCVL

The Ottawa Competitive Volleyball League (OCVL), operating under Ottawa Carleton Volleyball League Inc., is a not-for-profit competitive league that has been operating in the Ottawa area under different affiliations since the 1950′s.

There are two divisions in the league – Men’s and Women’s that run from September to April. The Men’s division plays on Monday nights, the Women’s division on Tuesday nights.

A Qualifying / Ranking tournament is held in mid-late September for proper seeding of teams, if required.

The OCVL season is played over a 22 week schedule run from mid-September to April and is based on a tiered ladder system within a 2 week cycle. More details and an example of how the system works are available through the ladder system link.

Playoffs involving all teams are held at the end of the season, with playoff seedings based on average individual team rankings over the last 12 weeks of the season.

All regular season and play-off matches are refereed by Ontario Volleyball Association (OVA) officials.
