The Southern Rodeo Association (SRA) was founded in 1954 as a non-profit organization to promote the sport of rodeo in an effort to preserve the cowboy heritage. 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 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".
Contestants in Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, Bull Riding, Calf Roping, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping, Cowgirls Barrel Racing and Cowgirls Breakaway Roping compete to 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 crowns event champions and all around champions for overall points winners for the year in addition the finals rodeo championships.  Top notch bucking horses and bulls are also awarded for their performance for the year and at the finals rodeo.  Take a look at our past champions..............
