How to Register a Team for an NLVA Event

PIA Membership Required

You must have an active, approved Person in Authority (PIA) membership to view and register for available NLVA events in Sportlomo.

If you log in and cannot see the available tournaments, please check that your PIA membership has been approved.

If you haven’t completed your PIA requirements, please visit our Coaches Information page for step-by-step instructions.

  • 1. Log in to your existing Sportlomo account

    Tournament Communications
    The individual who registers the team will be the primary contact for tournament communications, including schedules, roster information and important event updates. Emails are automatically sent to the person who completed the registration.
    We cannot add additional email addresses to the distribution list.

  • 2. Select Your Event

    • Once logged in, navigate to Events.
    • Find the tournament you wish to register for.
    • Select the appropriate division and proceed with registration.

  • 3. Enter Your Team Information

    Enter your team name and any other required registration information.

  • 4. Add Your Players to the Roster

    All players must have an active NLVA membership before they can be added to a team roster.

    For NLVA tournaments, players only require a Recreational Player Membership. A Competitive Player Membership is only required for athletes participating in Volleyball Canada National Championships.

    To add a player, you will need:

    • The player’s date of birth.
    • The email address associated with the player’s Sportlomo account.

    Both must match the player’s Sportlomo profile. If you cannot find or add a player, verify their date of birth, email address and active membership.

  • 5. Add Your Coaches and PIA

    Add your head coach, assistant coaches, team managers and teacher sponsors, as applicable.

    All coaches and Persons in Authority (PIAs), including teacher sponsors and team managers, must have approved memberships before they can be added to a roster.

    If you cannot add a coach or PIA, their membership may not yet be approved. See the Coaches Information page for requirements.

    Important: Select the “Can Manage Team” checkbox for any coach or PIA who should be able to edit the team roster.

  • 6. Select Your Payment Method

    At checkout, choose one of the two payment options below. Credit card payment is available only at the time of registration. If your school will pay, choose Offline Payment so the school can be invoiced after registration closes.

    See the Payment Options section for full details.

    Check your email for a receipt. If you do not receive a receipt, log back in to Sportlomo and check to ensure it was submitted correctly.

Payment Options

The NLVA has introduced a new invoicing process for school-based tournaments to simplify payments for schools and coaches.

Option 1: Credit Card Payment

Pay at registration.

Coaches or team contacts may pay the registration fee by credit card when completing the team’s registration in Sportlomo.

Important: Credit card payments can ONLY be made at the time of registration.

Option 2: Offline Payment – School Invoicing

Register now. Your school pays later.

If your school will pay the registration fee, select “Offline Payment” at checkout.

  1. Coaches register their teams and select Offline Payment.
  2. After tournament registration closes, NLVA generates invoices for teams registered using Offline Payment.
  3. Each school receives one combined invoice listing its teams, individual invoice numbers, registration fees and applicable HST.
  4. Invoices are sent directly to the school’s designated financial contact.
  5. Schools have 30 days from the invoice date to submit payment.

How to Edit Your Roster

Need to add or remove a player or coach?

  1. Log in to your Sportlomo account.
  2. Navigate to Manage Teams.
  3. Select the team you wish to update.
  4. Make your changes and save your roster.

Only individuals with the appropriate team management permissions can edit the roster.

Roster deadline: All changes must be completed before the applicable roster lock deadline. Once rosters are locked, final roster declarations will be generated and distributed to teams.
