The Olympic qualification system has created many high-level ad-hoc events that require a larger amount of team leaders than we have seen in previous years. 

 

This means you may not be selected to be a team leader until later in the year when an event has been confirmed.

 

To apply for the position please submit the Team Leader Interest form.

 

Applications will now be accepted through Wednesday, April 14, 2021 at 5PM MT.
