Wolves, register for fall sports!

It’s go time.

With the start of fall football practice just six days out, Coupeville has set Wednesday, Aug. 17 as its fall sports registration day for middle and high school athletes.

The event runs from 12-5 PM in the CHS/CMS library.

The high school offers volleyball, girls and boys soccer, cross country, boys tennis, and football in the fall, with CMS fielding volleyball, cross country and (possibly) boys soccer.

Players and parents can submit new sports physicals, pay athletic and ASB fees, as well as complete applications for free and reduced food service.

Physicals are good for two years in Washington state, unless otherwise noted by the doctor.

With the schools moving much of the paperwork online, all student athletes need to have an account set up through the Final Forms link, which is here:

Young booter kicks up success

Chayse remains on the chase.

Incoming Coupeville Middle School 6th grader Chayse Van Velkinburgh is spending a good chunk of his summer pursuing his soccer dreams.

The speedy pitch king spent this weekend playing with the 2010 Rangers FC Gold, a squad which is mainly comprised of players older than Van Velkinburgh.

The team claimed 2nd place in their division at the Crossfire Select Cup in Redmond, narrowly edged out 4-3 in the championship tilt.

Van Velkinburgh, who has been playing 9 vs 9 on a shortened field, stepped up and accepted the challenge of playing 11 vs 11 on a full soccer pitch.

He crashed home a goal, while handing out three assists from his position at left wing back.

Celebrating a strong finish at the Crossfire Challenge Cup.

Van Velkinburgh plans to go full-tilt the rest of the summer, as well.

He has a two-day camp coming up on his schedule, followed by high-level tournaments the next two weekends.

Once the calendar hits August, Van Velkinburgh will try out for the Elite Player Development Program, which is run by Washington Youth Soccer.

That program is set up to “identify and select players of the highest caliber and potential on a continuing and consistent basis, which leads to increased success at the regional and national level.”

EPD fields two teams — one from the Western half of the state, and one from the Eastern.

Tryouts are Aug. 8-10, with callbacks later in the month.

A mere 72 days until opening night

We’re going to the future.

One school year is still fading away in the background, and already some of us are looking ahead at plans for another.

Coupeville High School has released schedules for five of its six fall sports programs, with boys tennis the lone exception.

That’s because the program is twisting in the wind, having failed to field a team in back-to-back seasons.

The move from 1A to 2B stung the net program, as the transition bounced boys soccer from the spring to the fall.

That means four sports — cross country, football, soccer, and tennis — are fighting for male bodies in the same season, and there are only so many athletes to be had.

If tennis is able to pull together a team, we’ll have a schedule for you closer to the fall.

But for now, you’ll have to make do with what we have.

The first day of practice for CHS football is Aug. 17, with volleyball, soccer, cross country, and (maybe) tennis starting Aug. 22.

Games start Sept. 2, and when you go to laminate the schedules, remember the words of Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith.

“As always, they are living, breathing, ever-slightly changing documents…”

Willie Smith scans the future, looking for schedule changes.

Your mileage may vary.

If you care about soccer, or what’s going on athletically at Oak Harbor or South Whidbey High School, the pics above and below may catch your interest.

They were snapped by wanderin’ photographer John Fisken during a windy Saturday, as the host Wildcats rode the weather to storm from behind for a 5-1 win on the pitch.

To see everything he shot, and possibly purchase some glossies for the cousins over in Rancho Cucamonga, pop over to:
