A new season looms. Do you know where your shin guards are?

Rain drops falling in Coupeville are an early reminder fall high school sports are closer than you might think.

Football kicks off practice next Wednesday, Aug. 16, with soccer, cheer, volleyball, and cross country slated to welcome athletes back to action Aug. 21.

Barring a surprise comeback by boys’ tennis, Kimberly Kisch will be the only first-year CHS coach this fall, taking over a girls’ soccer program she once played for back in her own school days.

As she preps for replacing the retired Kyle Nelson, the former Wolf booter is getting the word out, hoping to draw a large roster of players for her debut campaign.

Whether you’re a returning veteran or a first-time player, Kisch looks forward to passing on the lessons she learned on the pitch.

Practices for CHS girls’ soccer will run from 3:00-6:00 Monday through Friday at the fields on Terry Road, next door to the baseball field.

Players need to bring water, wear shin guards and appropriate clothing, and possess “a good attitude and respect (for) all members of the team” while “focusing on the game and the team goals” and “putting out their best effort.”

Kisch, like all Wolf coaches, also would love to see players fill out their Final Forms online BEFORE practice starts.

“Please don’t let administrative paperwork hinder your participation in CHS sports,” she said.

Parents and players with questions can contact the new coach at kkisch@coupeville.k12.wa.us.
