Grab a ball and get to work.

While the COVID-19 pandemic shut down schools across Washington state, Coupeville youth basketball players are being encouraged to keep working on their ballhandling skills.

CHS coaches, with a big assist from middle school and high school Wolf hoops stars, are launching the Spring 2020 Youth Dribbling Challenge.

“It’s a collaborative effort, Coupeville athletes and coaches introducing this together,” CHS varsity boys coach Brad Sherman said. “Athletes willingly stepping up to keep working with youth basketball players!”

Each week, Sherman will post new videos showing current and former Wolf basketball players demonstrating skills for younger athletes to practice.

The videos will be on the Coupeville Youth Basketball page on Facebook (you can request to join) and here on Coupeville Sports.

If young Wolf athletes don’t have a basketball, they can check out a ball for the spring and summer.

Parents can contact Sherman at bsherman@coupeville.k12.wa.us.

“We hope you have fun with this and look forward to staying connected with you,” Sherman said.
