The
Northern California Junior Rodeo Association, or N.C.J.R.A., is a nonprofit
organization that was established in 1982 to promote youth rodeos in California.
The association established and maintains standards and rules to govern all of
the sanctioned rodeos for youth ages six to 18. Most rodeos are put on by local
rodeo associations who decide on many of the specifics of that particular rodeo.
Every N.C.J.R.A. sanctioned
rodeo has at least 17 sanctioned events. These rodeos have events
for two separate age groups: Junior (6-13 years) and Senior (14-18
years). Some of the rodeos may have Junior-Junior or Pee-Wee age
groups too, but this is up to each rodeo association.
Points are awarded to the
1st through 10th place contestants in each event and are tabulated by the N.C.J.R.A. rodeo secretary. First place receives 10 points on down
to tenth place receiving one point. Members at each sanctioned rodeo
can accumulate points (see rulebook
for further information). At the end of the rodeo season,
usually in August or September, a finals rodeo is produced by the
N.C.J.R.A.
By becoming a member of
N.C.J.R.A., you will be placed on the mailing list for each of the
sanctioned rodeos held that year. Additionally, schedules, points,
and important updates
are accessible on this official website. Only
participants who are members have their points tabulated toward the
year-end awards. You can expect each of those rodeos to be run in a
fair manner in accordance with the rules presented in the N.C.J.R.A.
rulebook.
Parents, family members,
and friends can help N.C.J.R.A. remain the
BEST Junior Rodeo Association in the state by helping
out at the rodeos. If you are interested in helping at a particular
event or rodeo, or would like to learn more about N.CJ.R.A., please
contact any of the Board of Directors
listed on our 'directors' page.
Thank you for visiting us
and we look forward to seeing you at the next rodeo!
