The Southern Rodeo Association (SRA) was founded in 1954 as a non-profit organization and was incorporated on April 27, 1959. The SRA boasts of being the oldest rodeo association east of the Mississippi River. Members of the association come from as far north as Canada, as far south as Florida and as far west as Oklahoma.

The top 12 contestants in Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, Bull Riding, Calf Roping, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping, Cowgirls Barrel Racing and Breakaway Roping qualify for the Southern Finals Rodeo (SFR) each year. There are some particularly gifted competitors that win in two or more events. These are the athletes that strive for the most coveted of all titles, the "All Around Champion Cowboy and Cowgirl"

The SRA is constantly growing in membership and now sanctions rodeos all over the eastern United States. However, the Southern Rodeo Association remains proud of its "Southern Roots"!

The SRA has a junior rodeo association for competitors 16 years of age and under. Many of the top hands in the SRA have come through the junior ranks to become leaders of the parent organization. The Junior SRA is a great way to get kids involved and prepared to enter competition in high school and professional rodeo. For more information on the Junior SRA, visit the website jsrarodeo.com
