SINCE 1974

The Northwest Youth Rodeo Association “NWYRA” was founded in 1974 and has grown to be the largest youth rodeo association in the Pacific Northwest.  We are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization that operates completely from sponsorships, donations and fundraising.

NWYRA is a family-oriented, all-volunteer association that provides the opportunity for young cowboys and cowgirls to compete in the great American Sport of Rodeo.

​

We are the future of rodeo, serving as a training ground, providing a solid foundation for future rodeo champions.  We are thankful for the support from the Columbia River Circuit PRCA Rodeos; St. Paul Rodeo, Sisters Rodeo and the Molalla Buckeroo, in addition to the NPRA Rodeos; Philomath Frolic & Rodeo and the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians (Canyonville)

​

From beginners to the seasoned competitor, NWYRA is the place to get started or stay-in-practice during the summer.  All kids who would like to rodeo are welcome at NWYRA.
