Grit & Glory Youth Rodeo Program (GGYRP)

About the Program

The Grit & Glory Youth Rodeo Program (GGYRP) is a new initiative under Reserve The Blue, designed to empower young people through the tradition, discipline, and excitement of rodeo. This program helps youth develop the resilience (grit) and pride (glory) needed to face challenges in life, while building positive connections with mentors, role models, and the community.

Rodeo is more than a sport — it teaches responsibility, courage, teamwork, and respect. Through GGYRP, young participants gain access to safe, structured rodeo training and events that prepare them not only for competition, but also for success in school, careers, and community leadership.

Program Goals

Youth Empowerment: Instilling discipline, confidence, and self-worth in young riders.
Skill Development: Teaching the fundamentals of rodeo — from riding and roping to sportsmanship and safety.
Mentorship: Connecting youth with experienced riders, coaches, and positive community role models.
Community Engagement: Hosting events that bring families, neighbors, and law enforcement together in a fun, uplifting atmosphere.
Opportunities for Growth: Opening pathways for scholarships, competitions, and future careers in agriculture, sports, or leadership.

Why Grit & Glory?

The name “Grit & Glory” represents the balance of hard work and the joy of achievement. Rodeo athletes must have grit to push through challenges, and they earn glory by showing courage and character.

This program celebrates that balance, showing young people that true glory is not just about winning — it’s about integrity, perseverance, and respect both inside and outside the arena.
