Open a Team Series Division in your area!
Are you passionate about bass fishing and looking to make a greater impact in the sport you love? The American Bass Anglers (ABA) is seeking dedicated anglers to become Division Directors for the 2025 ABA Team Series. This is your opportunity to lead, organize, and grow a division in your local community, contributing to one of the most exciting grassroots tournaments in the country.
What is the ABA Team Series?
The ABA Team Series is a team-based tournament series designed for grassroots weekend bass anglers. With a low entry fee of just $150, strong payouts of up to 80% at the ramp, and close-to-home events, this series offers anglers a competitive yet accessible platform. It’s perfect for those who want to enjoy the thrill of tournament fishing without the high costs associated with professional circuits.
How Does the Team Series Work?
The series is composed of 15 divisions, each hosting six events throughout the season. These events include five one-day Divisional team qualifying tournaments and one two-day Divisional Championship. Anglers compete as teams, accumulating points based on their performance. National and divisional standings are determined by their best four one-day events and the best two-day event.
