More about the National Senior Pro Rodeo Association

The National Senior Pro Rodeo Association (NSPRA) is the perfect solution for those who enjoy competing in rodeos but may have a few more years of wisdom under their belt.

This organization is open to anybody who is turning age 40 or above during the calendar year. If you meet this requirement, you can fill out an application on their website and get started soon enough.

Every year, the National Senior Pro Rodeo Association holds rodeos that include nine sanctioned events:  Team Roping, Steer Wrestling, Saddle Bronc, Ribbon Roping, Ladies Breakaway Roping, Ladies Barrel Racing, Calf Roping, Bull Riding, and Bareback. Each event is broken into age groups. Timed events have age groups of 40-50, 50-60, and 60+. The rough stock has groups of 40-50 and 50+. The National Senior Pro Rodeo Association even has a 68+ age group for those who are interested in calf roping. Although the event is non-sanctioned, the association has a 70+ Men’s Breakaway.
