Due to a major date clash, MSA would like to announce that the metropolitan Level 1 Coaches Course has now been moved back by 1 week, and will now take place on the weekend of November 23rd & 24th. With this slight date change, we hope that more potential coaches will now be able to take up this opportunity to become a coach and play a part in developing tomorrow’s champions!
Registrations for all three (3) Level 1 Coaches Courses to be held, are still open, with Keith in the southeast and Port Lincoln on the west coast, both looking forward to hosting these courses in October and November.
Motorcycling SA would like to thank all three clubs for making their venues available for the course, and even though they are being held at motocross/speedway 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.
