Coaching Permits – Important Information

Motorcycling South Australia have been receiving a number of queries surrounding the process required for running coaching sessions. Additionally, we will be implementing some clear timelines surrounding the requesting of permits, and the processing of endorsements to help us streamline the process and to allow us sufficient time for administration.

Please review all information carefully so that you are fully aware of a coach’s obligations.

PERMITS

Private or Commercial Coaches: All coaching activities must be conducted under a Coaching Permit. It is the coaches’ responsibility to apply for the permit and submit all required paperwork to MSA in the stipulated timeframes. From 15 July 2025, commercial coaches will need to pay for coaching permits upfront.

Club Coaches: Coaching activities through clubs can be conducted under a Coaching Permit, but can also be run under Club Training Days,  Recreational Activity or RPA days. Clubs are responsible to apply for the permits and submit all required paperwork to MSA in the stipulated timeframes. Where any coaching activity is not run under a dedicated coaching permit (eg RPA), sessions must be run separately, away from any other activity. PLEASE NOTE: The ability to run coaching sessions at recreational rides is currently under review and may change in the near future.

 

TIME FRAMES

Permits: An application for a coaching permit MUST be submitted at least 7 days prior to the event. Any applications submitted within 7 days will incur an urgency fee of $55. Any applications submitted within 48 hours of the planned event may not be approved.

Reports: All reports must be submitted electronically to MSA within 5 working days, with the exception of the injury reports which must be submitted within 24 hours after the event (or the next business day). Failure to provide these reports within the required timeframes will incur a late fee of $200. Failure to provide these reports within 30 days will result in the temporary suspension of permits being issued until the required reports have been correctly submitted.

Cancellations: For private or commercial coaches, if you wish to cancel a coaching event, this MUST be communicated to MSA in writing at least 24 hours prior to the event. Any events cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will still incur a permit fee.

Failure to pay any of the above mentioned fees will result in the suspension of permits being issued.

 

REPORTS & ENDORSEMENTS

Following the coaching event, sign in sheets and event reports must be submitted to MSA correctly. No endorsement will be approved if the coaches’ paperwork hasn’t been correctly received.

All endorsements MUST be recorded on the appropriate log book. Kick-start books or coaching books must be used for every rider that is seeking and endorsment. The coach must fill out the book(s) correctly so that the riders can upload the relevant pages to their RiderNet profile. Only then will their endorsement be approved. Failure to fill out the details correctly will result in the endorsement being denied.

 

OTHER REQUIREMENTS

All Coaches must:

  • hold a current MA licence with the appropriate coaching accreditation;
  • hold a valid Working with Children Check for South Australia;
  • hold a valid first aid certificate (in the case where the Coach will be riding, a second first aider that is not riding must be present).

 

Any club or coach found to be hosting events without a permit or using an incorrect permit will be charged a fee of $1,000. In addition, any club or coach found to be in breach of any rules after investigation will be charged a fee of $500.

For a full list of requirements please read the MA National Coaching Guidelines. Please ensure you are familiar with these guidelines to ensure all processes are being followed correctly. More resources can be found here.

Please feel free to contact MSA for more information.

2024 SA Road Race Championship Round 5: The Final Championship Points Fight at Mac Park!

October 8, 2024 Filed Under: News, Road Racing, State Championship

Last weekend, the SA Road Race Championship took centre stage at Mac Park, where the Mount Gambier MCC proudly hosted the fifth and final round of the 2024 SA Road Race Championships, coinciding with the thrilling 2024 Masters of Mac Park. As road race fans and families made their traditional long weekend trip to Mount Gambier, excitement soared as SA’s fastest riders took to the track for the ultimate Championship showdowns. Before we dive into the weekend’s Championship races, let’s extend a special congratulations to Declan Carberry for taking out the 2024 Master of Mac!

Superbike

After a year of intense Championship battles, the Superbike final came down to a thrilling dash to the finish. Declan Carberry claimed the early win in Race 1, but a crash took him out of Races 2 and 3, leaving Charles Holding and Brad Raethel to contest the top spot. Raethel secured a strong victory in Race 2 before Holding responded with wins in Races 3 and 4, clinching the final Round 5 Superbike victory ahead of Raethel. Rusty Crane held off Andrew Tension-Woods to take third place for the round.

Supersport 600

Charles Holding came out swinging in Round 5, aiming to secure the win after finishing first in both Race 1 and Race 2. However, a DNS in Race 3 opened the door for Ryder Gilbert and Sam Pezzetta to battle for the top spot. Gilbert’s consistent 3-2-1-2 scorecard narrowly secured him the round win, edging out Pezzetta’s 2-3-2-3 finishes. Despite the setback, Holding clinched third overall with a brilliant victory in the final race, capping off a strong weekend.

Production 300

In a fitting conclusion to his near-perfect championship season, Ryder Gilbert dominated Round 5 of the Production 300 Championship with a clean sweep of first-place finishes. The victory didn’t come without a challenge, as Sam Pezzetta stayed right on his heels, securing second overall and nearly breaking Gilbert’s winning streak in Race 2, finishing just 0.404 seconds behind. Rounding out the Round 5 Production 300 podium, Flynn Jacobs held off strong challenges from Lucas Warren and Darren Trotter to secure third place.

Junior

Seth Dellow was on track for a clean sweep of first-place finishes in Round 5 of the Junior Championship before a fourth-place result in Race 4 ended his streak. Nevertheless, his dominant earlier performances were enough to comfortably secure the overall round victory. His brother, Ethan Dellow, claimed second place with a consistent run of second-place finishes in all races, while Xayvion Amoy rounded out the podium in third.

Sidecar

Championship third-place holders Max and Sam Hutchesson had an outstanding weekend, claiming victory in all three SA Sidecar Championship races, along with a win in the 2024 Sidecar Master of Mac Park feature race. Royce and Leonard Rowe finished a close second for the round, pushing the Hutchessons to the limit with thrilling finishes in Races 1 and 2, trailing by just 0.455 and 0.555 seconds, respectively. Michael Alton and David Rumble completed the podium in third place, following strong performances and consistent challenges within the top three.

Limited

Andrew Pitman delivered strong performances in the first two races, appearing poised to end the year with a perfect round. However, Joshua Mathers snatched the victory in Race 3. Undeterred, Pitman returned to narrowly edge out Mathers for the win in the final race, securing the overall class round victory and leaving Mathers in second place, with Ryder Gilbert finishing third to close out the year.

Reflecting on the excitement of the 2024 SA Road Race Championship, we have witnessed incredible talent and fierce competition throughout the season. From record-breaking lap times to nail-biting finishes, this year has truly showcased the best of road racing in South Australia. Congratulations to all competitors, and we look forward to seeing how each rider evolves in the off-season. Here’s to a well-deserved break and an even more thrilling 2025!

Windy conditions added an extra layer of difficulty to the final round, but die-hard reliability trial fans secured prime trackside spots to witness 28 Sidecars and 75 Solos tackle the tree-studded, dusty course. The Sidecars opened the day, breaking in the challenging terrain. Third off the rank and looking fast as ever, the duo of Shane Schiller and Steven Doecke took early control, overtaking teams Daniel Plowman/Bradley Brook and Shaun Blenkiron/Nathan Saegenschnitter on the first lap. Schiller and Doecke held their lead throughout, securing a commanding win and claiming provisional victory in the final round of the Championship.

The battle for the Beryl Pearce second and third was much tighter as Bradley Hunter and Adam Brook crossed the finish line in second place at the end of lap 2.
