If you’re going to learn, you should learn from the best.

So, it’s perfect that former Coupeville hoops star Caleb Meyer will be back in town in mid-July, helping lead a basketball day camp at CHS.

The event, run by NBC Camps, goes down July 16-18, with each day running from 9:00 AM-3:00 PM.

It’s open to boys and girls between the ages of 8-12 and you can find out more info by looking at the pic below.

Meyer came of age chasing gumballs across the carpet at Videoville when I worked there for his grandparents.

After a stellar run as a middle school athlete in Coupeville, he attended Jackson High School for three years, then returned to Cow Town as a senior.

Meyer played a major role for a Wolf basketball squad which went 16-0, won a bi-district title and advanced to the state tourney.

He capped his final year of high school by blazing through track and field season, including bringing home a 2nd place state medal in the 4 x 100 relay.

After graduation from CHS, Meyer has spent the past two years attending Skagit Valley College, where he was a member of the men’s basketball program.

This summer, he’s bouncing across the USA with NBC Camps, in his third year of coaching with them.

Meyer is at Whitworth College right now, and will trek to Alaska later, but McKenzie’s big “lil’ bro” has his return to Central Whidbey circled on his calendar.

“It’s such an honor to be able to help lead the Coupeville camp this year,” he said.

One final honor as he hits the road.

Coupeville’s Caleb Meyer was named Wednesday to the All-Academic team by the Northwest Athletic Conference.

The former Wolf, now a Skagit Valley College grad as well, compiled a 3.55 GPA while playing basketball for the Cardinals.

To be eligible for the list, an athlete needed to be a sophomore, have a minimum of 36 credits earned and notch at least a 3.25, which Meyer easily cruised past.

After finishing his run in Coupeville, where he was a key member on Wolf basketball and track teams, the heir to the Videoville legacy suited up for two seasons of hardwood action at SVC.

The Cardinals went 26-6 during Meyer’s sophomore season and finished 43-18 during his time on campus.

Love basketball?

Have a little extra time?

Want to get that warm glow in your chest from helping out a good cause?

If any of that applies to you, contact Amy Briscoe at (360) 632-2229 to volunteer for basketball game clock duty the weekend of June 14-16.

Hoopaholics, the annual camp for roundball addicts of a certain age, will be rolling back into the gym at Coupeville High School.

Since the group behind the event always helps out CHS hoops financially, your volunteer time can help fuel the continued success of Wolf programs being run by Brad Sherman and Megan Richter.

No prior experience is necessary — though, if you have some, even better.

Games start Friday at 3:00 PM, with Saturday going 10 AM-5:00 PM and Sunday 9:30-1:30.

If you have all three days available or can do an hour or two one of those days, any block of time is appreciated, Briscoe said.
