Two on deck, one off the schedule.
Coupeville Middle School is offering cross country and volleyball this fall but has discontinued its boys soccer program and is directing interested players to local rec leagues.
Practice for CMS runners begins Sept. 1, with the spikers hitting the court Sept. 12.
The fall season plays out through the end of Oct., then is followed by basketball in the winter and track in the spring.
With middle school volleyball, the plan is to have players in grades 6-8 divided across three teams by talent level.
Matches played Monday or Tuesday will operate with level one playing first, followed by two and three.
The schedule flips and goes 3-2-1 when matches are contested on Wednesday or Thursday.
Both sports welcome back returning coaches, with Elizabeth Bitting mentoring the harriers and the duo of Cris Matochi and Katie Kiel calling the shots for volleyball.
