The inaugural Kid Rock Rock N Rodeo team selection is complete, and the coaches have picked their players in the breakaway roping for the inaugural team event that is taking place on May 17, in Arlington, Texas.

Five of the six teams were selected based on a draft. The final team—the WCRA Free Riders—was built using champions from Rodeo Corpus Christi.

These are the teams, their coaches and athletes selected for each.

Wait…what is Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo? Great question, you can learn all of that here.
