**Metro Coaching Courses date change, for all the information – CLICK HERE.**
Over the past 3 years Motorcycling SA (MSA) has been fortunate enough to sign off over 20 new coaches across almost all disciplines, BUT, and as the number of new riders entering the sport continues to increase, MSA wants (and needs) even more coaches – so here is your chance!
As the calendar ticks over to July and we enter the 2nd half of 2024, Motorcycling SA would like to remind you that in October and November 2024, there will be three (3) Level 1 Coaches Courses held, with two (2) to be held in regional areas, and the third in the metro area.
The regional areas are:
- the Eyre Peninsula in the west, with Port Lincoln to host the course in the ‘wild west’!
- the Sout East in the south, with Keith to host the one ‘down south’.
Motorcycling SA would like to thank both clubs for making their venues available for the course, and even though they are being held at motocross tracks, the Level 1 Course covers ALL disciplines of the sport, ATV (Quads), Dirt Track, Enduro, Motocross, Reliability Trial, Road Race, Speedway and Trial!
The Course components comprise of 2 full days – day 1 for the theory components, and day 2 for the practical side of the course. This course is fully supported and recognised by:
- Motorcycling Australia,
- Australian Sports Commission (SportAus), and
- Australian Institute of Sport.
Attendance at each course will be limited to a maximum of 21 participants. Get your name in if you aspire to contribute to the sport, share your skills, and foster the development of the next generation of motorcycle stars.
Regional club members from the West – Kimba, Port Augusta, Port Lincoln, West Coast and Whyalla – will have preference at the West course, while members of the Keith, Lameroo, Mount Gambier, Mount Gambier Junior, Pinnaroo, Riverland Junior, Riverland Speedway and Robe clubs will have preference at the South course.
