Motorcycling SA Elite Rider Program

Motorcycling South Australia’s Elite Rider Program was held in March 2018. Our program was completely stripped down to a full day of intensive training through our Elite Rider Conference. MSA took out the most important topics from previous Elite Rider Programs and packaged them together in a full day of training. The reason behind this was to ensure we targeted more of our elite and up and coming stars to be a part of this unique program.

In addition to our riders attending the Conference we are asked they bring someone with them this time, as all riders would know you can’t perform at your highest level without the support of your family (parents), therefore we offered the opportunity for the selected riders to bring one parent/ caregiver along to the conference to help absorb & learn the content from the conference. By having someone else in your support network learning the same content helps your ongoing support and focus to this program. (Terms & Conditions will Apply to this, please read below).

The 2018 Elite Rider Conference took place on Saturday 24 March 2018, located at The ARC Campbelltown, 531 Lower North East Road, Campbelltown.

MSA will soon be calling for expressions of interest from South Australian based riders to be involved in this exciting and educational event that encompasses all aspects of becoming a professional rider for the future for our 2019 program.

The Elite Rider Conference is aimed at South Australia’s finest and most talented young riders to assist them in building towards a professional career on two wheels, three & 4 Wheels. This program includes an all-expenses paid Conference, designed to increase the rider’s knowledge in areas of fitness, nutrition, media, Marketing & Mental toughness. With these tools moving forward, its aim is to help towards enhancing the overall performance of these riders within the sport.

The Conference is open to 15 SA riders, from any disciplines, between the ages of 14– 18 years. The opportunity is a fantastic chance for riders to excel in the sport and take their riding to the next level.

** Terms for additional person to attend the conference with selected rider: This person must be a direct family member that helps, and is able to support your journey throughout the season.
