Julia Myers is back.

Having battled through knee surgery and an extensive rehab, the Coupeville High School sophomore is returning to the soccer pitch after missing an entire high school season.

One of 18 girls tabbed when the roster for the 2013/2014 edition of the GU18 Whidbey Islanders was named Tuesday night, she and her new teammates will have a busy year ahead of them.

The Islanders, coached by Sean LeVine and Scott Rosenkranz, play three summer tournaments.

After taking a break for the high school soccer season, they’ll return to practice in November for a season that runs December-March. That includes a State Cup tourney in January, which means the booters will be playing twice every weekend that month (while some are also doing double time with high school basketball).

“It is a BIG commitment,” LeVine said. “The skill level is good, but we will again be a young U18 team, as only two players are true U18 players and we have a couple as young as U15.”

The roster is truly an all-Island affair, with 10 players from Oak Harbor, six from Coupeville and two from South Whidbey.
