There are seven approved events in the GA-FL YOUTH RODEO ASSOCIATION and each one shall have a Student Director and Adult Assistant.

Barrel Racing

Breakaway Roping

Pole Bending

 

 All events are open to teens from age 14-19. You must be at least these ages or between as of September 1 of that particular season in order to be an eligible member however should you turn 14 during that rodeo season, you will then be eligible to compete. If you are age 19 on Sept. 1 of that season, then you are allowed to rodeo that entire season.  There will be only one (1) age division.  A copy of your birth certificate must accompany your application unless you are a returning member along with the attached release and W-9. The W-9 is required for everyone but will only be issued for those earning over $599 for the taxable year.

 

Academic eligibility will not be required by the GFYRA.  Therefore, you will not be due any grades at any point.  

 

All contestants are required to call-in to enter their first rodeo.  Call-in will be the Monday night before each rodeo. You will then be called in automatically at all rodeos for the remainder of the season.  However, should there be any changes or additions to your riding status, you MUST call at designated time to make the necessary changes.  Should you be a no show for a rodeo, you will be fined $20 per event and will be remain ineligible to compete until said fine is paid.  You will then be required to call back in to compete in future rodeos. 

 

I have enclosed a Membership Application, Release/Waiver of Liability & Indemnity Agreement & W-9.  Please return the enclosed forms along with your Membership Fee. The membership fee is itemized on an additional page. All new members (only) will need to submit a copy of their Birth Certificate.
