The Southern Rodeo Association would like to welcome you to our newly designed website.  The site is still under construction, so there are more features that will be added.  If you have any suggestions, please send an email to let us know what you think.  We would like to hear ideas from both our rodeo contestants and rodeo fans.

Rockin’ K / SRA, Legends & Legacy Reunion Postponed
Please except our sincere apologies for the fact that due to unforeseen circumstances with several areas of the planning process, we have come to realize that time restraints, memorabilia collection, planning detail demands, and the contacting of as many of the past members as possible is going to take longer than originally thought. We do not want to leave anyone out! We want to give this event the respect, time, honor and attention to detail that it deserves. We also want to raise as much money and donations for these scholarships as possible. There are still a lot of planning details that still need to be addressed! We need more time to take care of all of these issues. We want this event to be extremely successful. We want to make this event a memorable occasion that we can all enjoy to the fullest and make some new memories, for the 60Th reunion!
We still need volunteers, vendors, sponsors and donations for this event! If there is any particular area/project you feel you could do to help with the Planning process please notify the Planning Committee, Cathy Lusk Robinson, or Cindy Parker Kaufman. This reunion will be worth your day!
Please be patient with us the Planning Committee as we are working very hard to get to the goal of a GREAT reunion and a fun, memorable occasion for everyone! We will get together with all the proper people and make a decision as to the new date and time and details! Again please except our apologies for having to reschedule.
Sincerely, The Planning Committee, Rockin' K / SRA, Legends and Legacy Reunion!

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
