All Florida Junior Rodeo Association was created by a group of rodeo families committed to promoting the sport of rodeo to our youth. AFJRA is a non-profit organization 501c(3) promoting the sport of rodeo for children in the state of Florida between the ages of six and fourteen. One of the goals of AFJRA is to provide quality events which allow our youth to advance their skills in the spirit of fair competition and an appreciation of good sportsmanship. AFJRA is dedicated to helping our youth set goals and work to achieve them through a sport that they truly love. We offer eleven events for boys and girls. They are: Bareback Riding, Calf Roping, Barrel Racing, Breakaway Roping, Steer Undecorating, Goat Tying, Team Roping, Pole Bending, Bull Riding, Steer Riding, and Cutting. We give away buckles and prizes at each of our monthly events to the top six winners in each event. We also award an All-Around Cowboy and All-Around Cowgirl at each rodeo. Our rodeo season begins in August and ends in May. We end our rodeo season with a State Finals and banquet. Points are kept throughout the year to determine our year-end champions. Each year at our banquet we give away 16 trophy saddles, over 125 trophy belt buckles, and many other prizes to our children. Each and every contestant member will leave the awards banquet with something in hand. The contestants pay a yearly membership fee as well as an entry fee at each rodeo for the events in which they will compete. All funds that are not used for operating expenses will be used for prizes and awards for the children. We can all be champions by providing for and guiding our youth. Many of these children will leave our association and continue on into high school rodeo. Some of them will even go on to college and pro rodeo. Our organization continues to stay in existence because of our sponsors and our volunteers. AFJRA contestants deserve the best, they are our future.
