MMUA’s Lineworker Rodeo Clinic offers members the opportunity to attend this complimentary training clinic to prepare your team for the upcoming 2017 Public Power Lineworkers Rodeo in San Antonio, TX.

The 2017 Rodeo in San Antonio is expected to be the largest event to-date and draws public power lineworkers from across the U.S. At the Rodeo, journeyman and apprentice lineworkers can compete for professional recognition, attend training courses and practice essential safety skills.

The Rodeo is an opportunity for lineworkers to demonstrate their skills and knowledge of the craft. It also offers participants the opportunity to meet, connect with and learn from other lineworker professionals.

MMUA’s Rodeo Clinic will cover a number of useful topics, including:

What you can expect at the Rodeo
General Rodeo rules
Tools and equipment
Safe working practices
Tips for preparing for the event
Strategies for success
Teamwork
2016 Rodeo participant’s discussion

Please keep in mind for the Rodeo:

Journeyman events compete with a 3-person team. An apprentice can compete with the journeyman, but must remain as their ground person.
All apprentice events compete as individuals.
