Everywhere a Coupeville kid, keeping busy and honing their athletic skills.
Look around this weekend, and it wasn’t just the high school basketball teams which were busy.
A pack of Coupeville Middle School girls played a basketball doubleheader Saturday with their SWISH squad, and if you scroll down a few stories, you’ll see how they did.
Spoiler: they did very, very well.
Then, right after basketball was done, most of that same basketball team hit the road for Puyallup, where they played as part of a club volleyball team Sunday.
Chloe Marzocca, Mia Farris, Lyla Stuurmans, Jada Heaton, Taylor Brotemarkle, Madison McMillan, and Katie Marti all play for the Whidbey Volleyball Club U-13 squad.
That team played three matches Sunday in pool play, then bounced out a team in bracket play before their weekend came to an end.
“Overall, not bad. Definitely room to grow. Hard working girls,” said team mom Jennifer Marzocca.
Skip over to the soccer pitch, and another local progeny was hard at work.
Chayse Van Velkinburgh, who attends Coupeville Elementary School, suits up for Northwest United U-10.
Playing two games this weekend, he scorched the nets for six goals and dealt out three assists, while also finding time to pop over and anchor his squad as both a defender and goalie.
To very little surprise, Van Velkinburgh and Co. won both games, coming out on top 5-2 and 8-1.
