See below for details on each of these 4 steps.

The 2023 Checklist for Coaches gives greater detail for the entire process in a printable form, including tasks to be completed at the start of the Nordic season or earlier.

The OFSAA HUB details page gives more guidelines on using the OFSAA HUB to register for this event.
