The Amateur Motor Cycle Association was founded in 1932 in the West Midlands and the organisation has now grown to a National Organisation which is the largest in Europe specialising in Motocross.

The AMCA's constitution states that it is independant of any other organisation and whose main concern is the efficent management and control of motorcycle sport for the benefit of the riders involved whose primary interest is in the sport and not the reward.

One of the reasons for forming was to exclude works riders who rode special machines provided by top manufacturers. The same principle holds true so that no rider has an advantage over the others and all machines must be on general sale.
There are nearly 200 clubs based around England and Wales which means over 300 events run per year. The AMCA splits the country into area groups. Avon Sporting is a member of the Midlands region.
