Coupeville Sports

CJ Caidic

Ready to rumble.

CJ Caidic has his eyes on the goal. Literally.

The Coupeville High School sophomore, who bounces between three positions for the Wolf boys’ varsity soccer squad, wants to put the ball in the back of the net as often as possible.

“I want to be more aggressive and score at least 10,” Caidic said, who hailed “Running the ball up the field and going one-on-one with the goalie and getting a goal” as his best moment in soccer.

Caidic, who has also played basketball and football at CHS, bounces between right forward and right and center midfield for the Wolves.

“My strength would be running the ball up the field,” Caidic said. “My weakness is shooting and aggressiveness.”

A big fan of “the team effort,” he credits his friends for getting him interested in the sport in the first place.

“I’ve been playing for two years,” Caidic said. “I started because my friends told me to play and I just started loving the sport.”

Off the field, he hails Wolf football coach Tony Maggio and boys’ soccer assistant coach Kyle Nelson as mentors, and his step grandmother, Diane, as a huge influence on his life.

Want to find Caidic? Look outside, because, even if he’s not playing a sport, he’s probably up to something in the great outdoors.

“I like hanging out with my friends and playing some paintball with them!”
