Coaching 2023

Coaches / Boat Captains / Mentors

"Creating Opportunities We Only Dreamed Of"


We love getting kids outdoors, off their phones, and out fishing. We have been extremely blessed with a great group of volunteers, that have access to boats, who take our students out on the lake.  Over 1/2 of our Coaches/Boat Captains do not have a student on the team.  


  • We are always seeking more volunteers.  Once you sign up  you are invited to be part of the team!  If your time allows, we encourage you to attend the team meetings,  committee meetings, local tournaments, and more.
  • There is no  commitment.   If you can take kids fishing 5 times a week or ONCE A MONTH, we would love for you to join us.  
  • You don't have to have a boat.  We like to shore fish, teach, and mentor too.  Spots available!
  • We don't need professional guides to take our students out fishing!  We just need help getting them on the water and  spend time with them.
  • Our coaches/boat captains come from a wide variety of fishing backgrounds.  We help all levels and we have helped many parents, families, coaches get more experienced and better at fishing.  Don't worry about your level of expertise. 
  • We display tournament photos, but our concentration is on getting kids on the water, NOT TOURNAMENTS! 

Note: All Coaches will be provided a hat and t-shirt at a minimum.  Depending on time commitment we buy several jerseys for coaches too!

  • Register below, and hang on for a fun adventure with the Becker Bass Team!

ALL coaches and boat captains are required to register with the link below. This includes all local events, classroom, local fishing days, and tournaments including our team tournaments, Lund Virtual, SATT, travel tourneys and more.

Becker Bass Team Coaching

Coaching Plan

We continue to recruit and build up our team.  Coaching is a vital part of providing learning opportunities and good experiences to the students, parents and other coaches.  We all learn and continue to learn from each other.  We have a need for a variety of coaches and boat captains.  This year  we have developed a coaching committee to help recruit, decide on meeting topics, plan local events and lakes, provide more opportunities, and to develop and deliver a curriculum.

What We Offer Our Volunteer Coaches

The excitement to be part of the fast growing sport of high school youth angling!  Sharing your passion, developing relationships, teaching and giving back.  The experience, in itself, is worth the commitment to help.  We guarantee it!  In addition to having fun we commit the following to our coaching staff:

  • Personal Fishing Bio Page on Website
  • Participation and Invite to all of our sponsored events
  • Team hat and shirt
  • Participation in our manufacturer discount programs
    • St. Croix Rods / Rapala VIP / G-Loomis / Shimano/ Big Bite Baits / Northland Tackle Pure Fishing / Blackfish Gear / Clam Outdoors / All-Terrain Tackle and more!

Some topics we plan on covering this year

  • Safety
    • Boating, Personal, Weather
  • Environment
    • Invasive Species
  • Bass Fishing 
  • Equipment 
  • Tournaments  
    • Preparation and Execution 

If you consider yourself knowledgable, or if you know someone who would make a great teacher on some of these above topics,  please join us and help!. We are always looking for coaches, speakers, guests, boat captains, guides, and teachers!  Good stories are welcome too.

Coaches and Boat Captains

Interested in helping?  We are always looking for more coaches and boat captains.  

You don't need a fancy shmancy bass boat. You don't need to be pro fisherman. Just spend time with kids on the water.  We invite you to attend our meetings, learn, and get better at fishing.  We promise you will have fun and enjoy this experience!
