Gilroy Rodeo Flag Team Application 2026

Gilroy Rodeo

Flag Team Application
The Gilroy Rodeo Flag Team was formed in 2017 and we are so excited to continue this tradition. The teams work hard each year to finesse several patterned routines in order to bring the best presentation of all flags during the Gilroy Rodeo. It takes a lot of commitment and work to memorize patterns/timing/spacing, riders and horses must keep in good athletic shape. Several months each year, before the Gilroy Rodeo, riders begin practicing so they can confidently and safely carry a flag during rodeo performances. These riders will get the honors of flying sponsors flags several times through out the rodeo each day and riding a patriotic routine once during the main rodeo performance each day. This is a team sport, riders will have to work well in groups and take coaching and instruction from the Flag Team Coach/Coordinator.

Fly By Team: Riders will do one controlled lap in arena with major sponsor flags at high speed

Grand Entry Team (all riders): Riders will carry all sponsor flags and present them in the grand entry ceremony.

Flag team Performance Team: Riders will carry flags and do a 2-3 minute drill program

Understudy Team: Riders that were not placed on other teams are placed on the understudy team. The team is welcome to attend all practices and exposes horses to the rodeo environment in a safe manner. These riders can fill in at practices and if needed, performances as well.
