Champions Level Clinic

The Champions Level Clinic is hosted by Charly Crawford and Kory Koontz at NRS Arena in Decatur, TX November 12-14. This clinic is for the ropers getting ready for the big money at the end of the year (i.e. WSTR Finale and big Arizona Jackpots).

Hear from the Trainees

'The biggest difference on this clinic was it was focused on Vegas (WSTR Finale). So Charly knew that the boxes were going to be 22 foot deep. He knew the head barrier was going to be nine feet off that 22ft box. He put the electric eyes in front of the chutes at 14in, and he had live cattle that were real, it was as close to being in Vegas other than the red walls at South Point. It was just like Vegas!'

Troy Applegate, 2022 WSTR #9.5 3rd Place Champion, $106,000

'If there's anybody out there that's questioning whether they should take his clinic, if they should come see Charly, if they should come sharpen their skills...I 100% endorse this. This is the first clinic that I've ever been to. I can tell you that I'm leaving here energized. I'm leaving here ready to go rope. I feel like I'm better, I feel like I'm stronger mentally, physically and now I have the tools in my toolbox to go back and to be a better roper!'

FAQs

Is this for me?

We will utilize a World Series barrier and focus on the #12 roping down. This clinic probably isn't for you if you are not competing and entering team roping jackpots yet and is more suited for ropers going to the World Series Finale, Arizona, etc.

What will the clinic look like day to day?

The first day we rope, video the runs, and analyze. The second day we go to the ground and practice and at the end of the second day we will time some live runs. The third day we work on timing.

What if I’m roping in the #13?

If you are roping in the #13, unfortunately we won’t have strong enough steers for you and this clinic is most likely not for you.

Can I rope with my partner?

Yes, if they have a paid enrollment to the clinic.
