VOLLEYBALL CANADA CHAMPIONSHIPS Volleyball Canada is currently searching for two (2) partner hosts for the 2016-2017

17U and/or 18U Volleyball Canada Championships. These events would be organized

and executed by Volleyball Canada staff, with help from the successful host.

The Bid Package for these events can either be submitted by a PTA, a local volleyball

club, a tourism agency, or an event promoter.

1 CHAMPIONSHIP INTRODUCTION

Volleyball Canada is proud to have hosted successful national championships since 1953. Since the “open format” was

introduced nearly 20 years ago, teams from all over the country have been competing for the national title in a variety

of age categories, from 14U to 35+. There are now over 800 teams that participate in one of the Volleyball Canada

Championship.

2 CHAMPIONSHIP OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the Volleyball Canada Championships are to:

• Declare a champion in all categories for both genders

• Act as a vehicle for the promotion of volleyball throughout the country

• Provide an opportunity for athletes and teams to achieve excellence and to measure that achievement

• Offer a unique participation experience

3 17U AND 18U CHAMPIONSHIP OVERVIEW

The Volleyball Canada Championships have an open format in place, meaning that any team from across the country has

the opportunity to participate without restriction. The open format has made these true national events, with

participation from nearly every province and territory.

The 17U and 18U age division have experienced a steady growth over the past few years, and we anticipate more teams

will participate at these Volleyball Canada Championships during the 2016-2017 hosting cycle.

2012 Participation Numbers

• 17U Boys 35 Teams

• 17U Girls 73 Teams

• 18U Boys 52 Teams

• 18U Girls 91 Teams

Total 251 Teams

2013 Participation Numbers

• 17U Boys 32 Teams

• 17U Girls 80 Teams

• 18U Boys 48 Teams

• 18U Girls 80 Teams

Total 240 Teams

2014 Participation Numbers

• 17U Boys 32 Teams

• 17U Girls 80 Teams

• 18U Boys 56 Teams

• 18U Girls 96 Teams

Total 264 Teams

4 17U AND 18U CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT

In previous years, the 17U and 18U Volleyball Canada Championships were jointly held. As these age divisions continue

to grow, we are now at a stage of development which necessitates the separation of these events.

For the 2016-2017 hosting cycle, Volleyball Canada is seeking two (2) partners to assist in hosting these two (2) separate

events: the 17U Volleyball Canada Championships and the 18U Volleyball Canada Championships.

Bid Options (must host event in both 2016 and 2017):

• 17U Volleyball Canada Championships

• 18U Volleyball Canada Championships

• 17U & 18U Volleyball Canada Championships (combined)

Although the preference would be to host each event separately, Volleyball Canada will still accept bids that propose

hosting these events simultaneously, provided the host is able to meet the facility requirements.

The host must have the capacity to host the following number of teams in no more than two (2) competition venues,

although there is a strong preference for one competition venue. Please consult the Event Hosting Guide for detailed

specifics on facility and hosting requirements.

17U Volleyball Canada Championship

• 16 to 20 Volleyball Courts

o 17U Boys 32 Teams

o 17U Girls 80 Teams

o Total 112 Teams

18U Volleyball Canada Championship

• 20 to 24 Volleyball Courts

o 17U Boys 56 Teams

o 17U Girls 96 Teams

o Total 152 Teams

The proposed dates for hosting the 17U and/or 18U Volleyball Canada Championships are listed below. Although these

are the preferred dates, Volleyball Canada will still accept bids with different competition dates, pending they are within

a 2-week window (either before or after the preferred dates).

• Preferred Dates in 2016: May 6-8 OR May 13-15

• Preferred Dates in 2017: May 5-7 OR May 12-14

5 HOST CITY BENEFITS

By hosting one of these events in partnership with Volleyball Canada your organization can further the sport of

volleyball at the local, provincial/territorial, and national level.

The local host organizing committee will receive financial compensation for contracted staff and services upon a

successfully negotiated contract with Volleyball Canada.

Volleyball Canada - 2016-2017 Bid Manual (17U/18U)

WWW.VOLLEYBALL.CA PAGE 5

Along with the prestige of hosting one of the largest national-level single-sport events in the country, all of the parties

involved will also benefit from financial and economic impacts, many of which are listed below.

• A true national event, with between 2,000 and 2,400 athletes and coaches and an estimated 2,880 to 3,600

spectators from across the country expected to attend each event.

o Each event will also engage a large number of local and traveling officials, and will also engage the local

volunteer community.

• A large spectrum of participants, with athletes between the ages of 16 and 18 years old, as well as spectators

composed of both adults and kids (family members and friends).

o Each event participant traveling with the team will require transportation, housing, and food. They are

also likely to visit local tourist attractions during their free time.

o We estimate that roughly 75% of participating teams will come from outside the host province, which

will create a larger impact on the local economy.

• A preliminary economic impact study was conducted and it is estimated that the operations, participants and

visitors spending in the host province will be over $5 million. The total economic activity for the host province is

estimated at $8 million.

o Each event will require an estimated between 2,125 and 2,700 room nights at local hotels, with each

visitor staying for an average of 3 nights.

o A volleyball household spends more per capita in every consumer product (service) category than the

average Canadian household.

• The opportunity for your city to gain national visibility through exposure on various media platforms, including

print, television, web, and social media.

board, local sport tourism agency, local volleyball clubs, local college or university volleyball programs, etc.

This person is the main point of contact between the host organizing committee and Volleyball Canada, and is

responsible for submitting the bid and managing the rest of the committee members.

Volleyball Canada - 2016-2017 Bid Manual (17U/18U)

WWW.VOLLEYBALL.CA PAGE 10

• Staff and Volunteer Director

This person is responsible for the recruitment, training, and scheduling of all local staff members and volunteers,

as well as finding a set-up and tear-down crew.

If the bid package is not submitted by the Provincial/Territorial Association (PTA), the host organizing committee will be

required to receive a Letter of Endorsement from their PTA in which their bid is supported.

Additionally, support from the Regional Officials Chair is required. The bid package must demonstrate that there is a

sufficient amount of referees in host province to meet the majority of the demand required for the event.

14 LOCAL STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS

The host organizing committee will be responsible for the recruitment, training and scheduling of all local event staff

and volunteers. These staff members and volunteers will work in a variety of capacities to ensure that the event is

planned and executed to the standards of Volleyball Canada.

We recommend that all technical roles be worked by paid staff, whereas the roles that do not require a specific skill set

be worked by volunteers. That being said, the host organizing committee is responsible for deciding which roles, if any,

require paid staff members and which ones require volunteers.

The following areas/roles are ones that we feel should be considered when creating a staffing plan:

• Competition Crew

• Set-Up and Tear-Down Crew

• Team Check-In

• Ticketing

• Access Control

• Medal Ceremonies

• Social Media

As a national sport organization, Volleyball Canada is committed to offering services in both official languages. We

recommend that a fluently bilingual staff member or volunteer be on-site at all times to help assure that this

commitment can be met. This is especially important for the Eastern and Atlantic events; however there is always a

chance that French-speaking teams or athletes are in attendance at events based in the western part of the country.

15 VENUE REQUIREMENTS – DATES

As previously mentioned, the proposed dates for hosting the 17U and/or 18U Volleyball Canada Championships are as

follows. Although these are the preferred dates, Volleyball Canada will still accept bids with different competition

dates, pending they are within a 2-week window (either before or after the preferred dates).
