JUNIOR COACHING PROGRAM
From 1st
July 2006, Motorcycling Australia and Motorcycling South Australia
have introduced a Junior Coaching Program to assist with the
coaching and development of junior riders.
What this means to
junior club members is that to compete at a competitive club day, they will have to have a log book to compete. This only
applies to riders over 7 years and under 16years of age. Juniors
under 7 years will be able to ride with a one event recreation
licence on a separate track as happens now.
How do you get a
logbook? If you have ridden at a competitive club day
prior to the 1st of July 2006 on a one event licence and
you have the copy of that licence, the club or Jim Haseldine can
supply a form to be filled in with your details and attach a copy of
your 'one event licence' and send to Motorcycling SA and you will
receive a log book. If you have ridden but can’t find your copy, the
club has a copy of the licence and if you let Jim know he will
locate it and get a copy to you. Otherwise you have to attend a Kick
Start Program.
This includes a 5 hour
course, which you have to sit and pass and then you will be issued
with a log book.
Jim Haseldine has
attended a training course and is part way through being accredited
as a coach and the club is getting more members accredited as
coaches as soon as possible to assist you with coaching. If you do the Kick
Start Program you have to sit the test with an accredited coach.
The idea of the Junior
Coaching Program is to ensure that juniors know how to control a
motorcycle before being allowed on the track. The coaching does
included some theory and a test, which has to be passed with 23 out
of 25 questions correct. This is what is called an open book test
and the coach can assist you in where to find the answers as they
are all multi choice questions were sure every one will receive 25
out of 25. There is a riding test to take and pass, but it is to
prove if you can ride and control a motorcycle.
All we want to know is
can you start and stop your bike safely and display basic riding
skills.
I have not seen any
one at a club day that could not pass the test easily. You don’t
have to be able to rail a berm or nail a triple jump. The Keyneton
Motorcycle Club will do every thing to help you get out there and
ride your bike.
