OTB Summer League (7–11 Advanced)

Service Description

Junior Advanced is for youth who already have solid basics and are ready for faster coaching, more technique, and bigger challenges—run like a youth sports league with structured competition and skill progression. Weekly schedule: 5:00–7:00 PM (2 hours) plus additional weekend competition days built into the season. Weekend days may include extended/full-day fishing and select opportunities to jump on boats or participate in local tournaments (as available). We fish across beaches, bays, docks, piers, banks, and (when appropriate) jetties—staying mobile and going where the fish are based on safe conditions. Meet-up locations vary within North Padre and surrounding areas; details are sent in advance. Advanced Juniors sharpen: casting control, knot/rig consistency, situational rig selection, reading structure, landing technique, ethical harvest/release, and stewardship. League competitions provide prize opportunities (gear, gift cards, and Foundation swag). Registration includes a custom League fishing shirt/hat. All necessary gear is provided; personal labeled gear welcome. Weeknights: water bottle + snack recommended. Weekend/full-day days: packed lunch + drinks required. Transportation may be available/arranged separately (limited availability). Scholarships may be available. Weather/safety changes may require reschedules/make-ups when possible. Note: local tournaments beyond scheduled League competition days may require parents/guardians to pay entry fees. Coach note: coaches may recommend moving a participant between Beginner/Advanced for readiness and safety.
