Missouri High School Rodeo is not sanctioned by the schools but does require the student athletes to follow MSHSAA rules with regards to grades and conduct. Travel, Membership and Entry fees to compete in High School/Jr High rodeo are the responsibility of each athlete and their family. Each week it cost the Bates County Team collectively $750 in entry fees. If you are interested in sponsoring or know someone who would be, please let us know. The 2023-24 season has 12 weekend rodeos ending with a week long National Finals at Rocksprings Wyoming.

Watch for an official Facebook Page coming soon to follow the success of all these local rodeo athletes. We are excited that the team has grown from 3 members last year to 7 this year with several other potential athletes hoping to join the team.
