Here’s what you need to know before making the decision to go:
Nationals is a 7–10 day commitment that includes travel, competition, and time away from home and work. It requires planning ahead and being prepared for a full experience—not just a weekend event.
2026 National High School Finals Rodeo

Sandhills Global Event Center, Lincoln, NE
Expenses vary, but families should be prepared for:
👉 Most families spend $3,000–$10,000+, depending on location and setup.
See the 2026 Pricing Sheet for a summary of camping, stalling, jackpot, golf cart and ticket prices.
Take time to:
There’s no one “right way”—just what’s right for you.
Nationals is an incredible opportunity—but it’s also a commitment.
Go in prepared, ask questions, and lean on the rodeo community for support.
If you need help, reach out—we’re here to guide you.
Congratulations to everyone who has qualified and made the decision to go to Nationals. The first thing to do is visit the rodeo office and pick up your contestant packet. The following steps must be completed before you leave on Sunday:
Complete the Stalling Form in your contestant packet.
Complete the Camping Form in your contestant packet.
On your camping form, indicate your site preference. However, the host committee has advised that power and water sites will be prioritized for contestants travelling with horses. Roughstock and shooting contestants will be assigned to dry camping first.
In the event that more than 37 sites are requested, the facility has secured two campgrounds near the grounds for overflow. These will be shared with our families if needed.
If you need to add/or cancel any stalls or camping, please contact the Provincial Secretary.
Qualifier Jackets may be purchased by anyone who finished 1st – 4th. Rolled up contestants may purchase a jacket only if they are attending Nationals.
Order forms must be filled out and paid on Sunday.
Once these steps are completed, you’re all signed up for Nationals.
There are a few things you still need to take care of:

Next up is Corbin Anderson! 🇨🇦🎯
Rayelle Rose caught up with one of our Junior High National Finals light rifle competitors to hear how his week has been going.
Corbin might be a little disappointed with how his competition turned out, but he isn’t letting that take away from the experience. He’s having a great time at Nationals, making memories, and enjoying every opportunity that comes with competing on the national stage.
That’s the attitude we love to see.
Keep your eye on the target, Corbin! Team Alberta is proud of you and cheering you on every step of the way.
Hear it straight from Corbin!

Next up is Layton Klassen! 🇨🇦🤠
Rayelle Rose caught up with Layton to hear how his Junior High National Finals week has been going.
Layton put together a quick chute dogging run, but unfortunately picked up a +10. That’s rodeo.
What stood out even more than the run, though, was the smile on his face. Layton is absolutely beaming about his National Finals experience, and you can tell just how much this week means to him.
These are the kinds of interviews that make us so proud of Team Alberta. It’s about more than the results—it’s about the attitude, the memories, and the opportunity to compete on one of rodeo’s biggest stages.
Hear it straight from Layton!
Keep enjoying every minute, Layton! Team Alberta is cheering you on! ❤️🤍❤️

We’ve got a new reporter! 🎤🤠🇨🇦
With Rayelle officially losing her voice, we couldn’t leave anyone out. So Ruby Rose stepped in behind the camera to fill the big shoes of both Steve Bishell and Rayelle, making sure Team Alberta’s stories kept coming.
This time, Ruby caught up with our D1 saddle bronc rider, Will Norby.
Will might be a man of few words, but he says he’s having a pretty good time at Nationals—and sometimes that’s all that needs to be said.
Thanks, Ruby, for stepping up and keeping the interviews rolling, and good luck to Will as he continues his National Finals experience!
Hear it straight from Will.

Next up is our D1 goat tier, Jorja Griffith! 🇨🇦🤠
Rayelle Rose caught up with Jorja to hear how her Junior High National Finals week has been going.
Jorja tied her goat, but unfortunately it got up. Tough luck for our cowgirl! The best part? She’s still smiling, laughing, and enjoying every minute of the experience. That’s the kind of attitude that makes Team Alberta so much fun to cheer for.
And one more update… Rayelle’s voice is officially on its last legs. 😂 We may have broken her after all these interviews! Thanks for sticking with us and enjoying the captions while she powers through.
Keep smiling, Jorja! Team Alberta is cheering you on! ❤️🤍❤️
