Apply Now: Approved Vendors
The Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA) is accepting vendor applications for the 2026 season.
All vendors participating in OLA Invitational Tournaments or OLA Special Events must be approved by the OLA prior to attending. For 2026, vendors may apply through either the full OLA Approved Vendor Program or the Single Event Vendor option for one Invitational Tournament only.
The Approved Vendor Directory is a public, live resource used by tournament coordinators and OLA event organizers across the province. Participation in events is subject to availability, approval, and applicable event fees.
Who Should Apply
The OLA welcomes applications from businesses that offer products or services suited to a youth sports and family-focused event environment.
This includes vendors whose offerings appeal to players, families, and spectators, such as food and beverage providers, lacrosse equipment and accessory retailers, apparel and custom merchandise vendors, health and wellness or athletic recovery services, photography and media providers, interactive experiences and kids’ activities, and local or community-based businesses.
Vendors should be able to operate in a professional, family-friendly setting and contribute positively to the overall event experience.
Terms
The OLA Approved Vendor Program is intended for vendors interested in participating in multiple Invitational Tournaments and/or OLA Special Events throughout the season. Approved Vendors are listed on the official OLA Approved Vendor Directory and receive access to vendor opportunities throughout the season.
Participation in the OLA Approved Vendor Program requires a $300 annual Approved Vendor Program fee, plus additional event-specific vendor fees. Invitational Tournament vendor fees are generally $300 per event, while select larger OLA Special Events may have higher vendor fees based on event size and attendance.
Vendors interested in attending only one Invitational Tournament may apply as a Single Event Vendor. Single Event Vendors are approved for one Invitational Tournament only, are not added to the Approved Vendor Directory, and are not eligible to attend OLA Special Events. Single Event Vendors are subject to the applicable event vendor fee, generally $300 per tournament, plus a one-time $75 administrative fee.
If a Single Event Vendor later wishes to attend additional events, the $75 administrative fee may be credited toward the $300 annual Approved Vendor Program fee.
All vendors are only permitted to offer approved products and services. Vendors are responsible for obtaining any required municipal permits, licences, health approvals, or additional permissions necessary to operate at tournaments and events. Vendors must also maintain valid insurance coverage with a minimum of $2,000,000 liability insurance, with the Ontario Lacrosse Association listed as Additionally Insured.
