Coupeville Sports

That moment when lil’ ol Coupeville beat the big city boys to win a state title.

What do you mean it doesn’t feel like baseball season?

Ignore the snow-infused rain and get crackin’, as it’s closer than you might think.

Central Whidbey Little League has kicked off registration for 2016 softball and baseball play (they have teams open to players from ages 4-14) and it runs through Feb. 29.

Practices starts in March (yes, it will still likely be cold, thank you, and get used to it), with games beginning in April.

To register or pick up more info (the league is also looking for sponsors and volunteers), pop over to the league’s sparkling new website at:

While there you can marinate in pics of past success stories such as the 2010 state champion Juniors baseball squad and the 2014 Venom, a Juniors softball squad which clobbered foes left and right on their way to state.

Then, after your kids sign up, they can go write their own success story for future generations to marvel at.
