🟡 Kickstart Coaching — Your Licence to Race

Coaching Sessions Explained

Goal:

To equip young riders aged 6 to under 16 with the essential knowledge, skills, and confidence to begin racing safely and successfully — and complete the requirements to gain their Motorcycling Australia race licence.

Overview:

This 6-hour coaching program is the official first step into competitive riding. Developed by Motorcycling Australia, the Kickstart Program gives juniors (and their parents) everything they need to understand racing — from bike control and safety to rules, race-day expectations, and flag signals. At the end of the day, each rider is assessed by a qualified coach, with a short test and a competency check-off required to move forward.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ Basic riding skills and bike handling techniques suitable for junior racing

✅ Understanding of race rules, safety procedures, and flag signals

✅ What to expect on race day — roles of officials, format, and behaviour expectations

✅ Step-by-step guidance from the 2024 Kickstart Program Booklet

✅ A final assessment and coach sign-off verifying race readiness

✅ Licencing support — this session satisfies the required component to apply for a Motorcycling Australia race licence

Ideal for:

Junior riders aged 6 to under 16 and their parents who are ready to take the first step into competitive motorcycle sport and want to do it safely, confidently, and with the right support.
