For over 50 years, the South Carolina Rodeo Association has been an organization for students all over South Carolina who want to participate in the sport of rodeo. They are supervised by a concerned group of adults that are interested in providing an opportunity for students to participate in a non-traditional sport.

The top four contestants in each event each year are eligible to represent our state at the National Finals Rodeo (HS and JR contestants only). This past year the HS National Finals Rodeo was held in Wyoming and the Junior High Division was in Iowa.
