Each of the four North Carolina Bassmaster High School Series of events are separate entities from the Collins Youth Educational Series of events. Although some of the North Carolina Bassmaster High School Series of events will coincide with the Collins Youth Educational Series of events (On the same date and at the same locations), the Youth Educational Series of events will continue to be free of charge and will not require any membership affiliation. Simply put, the Youth Educational Series avenue is designed to offer a no costs method of introducing young anglers to the sport of competitive bass angling while the addition of the North Carolina Bassmaster High School Series of events will allow an additional avenue for those interested in club level activities and advancement opportunities. The combined partnership of the Youth Educational Series and the North Carolina Bassmaster High School Series offers choices for our young anglers.
