WELCOME TO NORTHWEST YOUTH

RODEO ASSOCIATION

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.

RODEO SEASON

The NWYRA season runs during the summer months, June through August. 

There are five (5) weekend rodeos for kids to compete in. 

The first four (4) weekend rodeos are double headers. 

The last weekend rodeo of the summer is the "Finals" rodeo and is a single (1) header. 

The "Finals" rodeo is a fun and exciting weekend as each contestant who wins their event earns a customized "Finals" buckle and gets to take a victory lap around the arena.
