INDUCTION COURSE FOR NEW MARSHALS, SATURDAY, 27 MARCH AT 10:00.
“The Kyalami Marshals Association (KMA), will be hosting an induction course for new marshals at Kyalami on Saturday, 27 March at 7.00 am
Any person older than the age of 16 who is interested in marshalling may attend.
he basic induction course emphasizes track discipline, track safety, personal safety, correct clothing, basic flag and fire training etc. There are many opportunities for further themselves in the field of marshalling until the ultimate position of Chief Marshal is reached.
Once a marshal has completed the basic induction and have attended 3 regional or national race meetings and the Post Chief and the Chief Training Officers are happy with the trainee’s performance, plus the successful completion of a written examn, the marshal will be upgraded to a Grade 1 marshal. If under the age of 18, the marshal will remain a junior until he/she has reached the age of 18 and may then be upgraded to a Grade 2 marshal.
The marshal levels are as follows: Grade 1 (Course Marshal), Grade 2 (Flag, Fire, Incident Marshal), Grade 3 (Flag, Fire and Incident Marshal), Grade 4 (Senior Flag, Fire and Incident Marshal), Grade 5 (Deputy Post Chief), Grade 6 (Post Chief), Grade 7 (Deputy Chief Flag, Fire and Incident Marshal), Grade 8 (Training Officers) and finally Grade 9 and 10 (Deputy Marshal/Chief Marshal).
Rob Weber of the Kyalami Marshals Association will be happy to answer any question from individuals who would like to attend the induction course and become marshals.
