Motorcycling Australia (MA) is delighted to announce the continuation of the ‘Key Officials Pathway Program’ (KOPP) in 2025, designed to fast-track the development of officials under the Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) umbrella.

The program will run at every round of the 2025 ProMX Championship, available to current Level 1 and above MA Key Officials (Clerk of Course, Stewards, Starters, Finishers and Race Secretaries) who seek practical experience in motocross race management.

Attendees will participate in a structured Officials Pathway Program to gain practical experience in:
•    Pre-event preparation information and planning requirements;
•    Pre-race day preparation including track walks, briefings and rider sign on;
•    Debriefs and scenario training programs; and
•    Partnering with experienced officials for Sunday competition.

Planned outcomes for participants:
•    Gain practical tips on pre-event planning and management from experienced MX Officials;
•    Gain experience to add to resumes for upgrade applications (for Level 1 to 3 Officials);
•    Participate in new roles through practical involvement to accelerate learning outcomes;
•    Problem solving workshops including mock protests, race incident control, time management and scenario training; and
•    The chance to be involved in Australia’s premier motocross championship.
 

Invaluable, wide-ranging experience at a ProMX Championship round – but just don’t take our word for it! Check out the testimonials below from two of last year’s participants.

Riley Gierke, Qld
“I have been a part of the KOPP for some time now, and the experience I have gained is amazing. From on-track decision making to behind the scenes management, there’s nothing else like it.

“The program has given me opportunities to progress from a Level 1 to Level 3 Clerk, as well as being a starter for the Australian Supercross Championship and remaining a ProMX official. It’s the best way to gain experience and get your name out there to be more involved in this great sport.”

Anthony Slade, SA
“I joined the program because of my passion for motocross, which I have been involved in for 25 years as a rider, official, and club committee member. It has given me the opportunity to give back to the sport that has played such a significant role in my life while also allowing me to experience motocross at a professional level.

“I’ve gained valuable insights into running events efficiently and on schedule, ensuring they meet professional standards. The skills and knowledge I have acquired will now help me improve and apply these best practices to events at both club and state levels, ultimately benefiting the broader motocross community in South Australia.”
