The Port Lincoln Motorcycle Club and the Grand Tasman Hotel hosted a Level 1 Coaches Course over the weekend of November 2nd and 3rd, with four new coaches attending the two-day course, which is recognized by AusSport and the Australian Institute of Sport.
Day 1 focused on the theory sessions of the course, covering all the guidelines and requirements, as well as the following modules: Administration & Legal Responsibilities, the Role of the Coach, Coaching Sessions, the Coach in Action, and Skills and Equipment.
The day concluded with all attendees creating a lesson plan for the following day, when they would work in groups with a number of riders of varying ages and abilities for the practical component of the course.
With the addition of the four new coaches, the number of motorcycle sport coaches on the Eyre Peninsula has now doubled, which is a significant benefit for the sport moving forward.
A huge thank you goes out to not only the new coaches for taking the time to complete the course and give back to our sport, but also to the Port Lincoln MCC and their members for being such excellent hosts over the weekend.
Thanks also to the ‘young guns’ in the club who came out and were coached on the day—it looked like you all had a great time and learned new things!
