Build the present, build the future.

Softball success is booming on the prairie, and a big part of that is the older girl’s willingness to work with their younger counterparts.

Current Coupeville High School players, who are flying high with a 17-1 record this spring, took time Wednesday to mentor the sluggers who will follow in their footsteps.

The Central Whidbey Little League Minors team — 14 players and four coaches — trekked over to the CHS fields, where they worked with the Wolves on a typically breezy “spring” day in Coupeville.

“The varsity players did a fantastic job running the show,” said CHS coach Aaron Lucero.

“Windy and cold, but nobody complained.

“Bethany Hopkins and her (CWLL) coaches have done a great job instilling passion for the game in their team.”

Tomorrow’s stars swing for success. (Lucero photo)

You, an umpire? Yes!!

Posted in Little League, tagged baseball, Central Whidbey Little League, Softball, spring, umpires on February 11, 2025| Leave a Comment »

Want to be in charge? Make the final call? Wear a snazzy uniform?

All of that (and more) can be yours if you step up and help local baseball and softball players by volunteering as an umpire with Central Whidbey Little League.

CWLL, which closes player registration Feb. 28, has two umpires in place for this spring, but needs more to be able to pull off the season.

James Meek, Umpire in Charge for the league, has issued the following statement:

Hello Central Whidbey Community!

I hope this letter finds you well.

I am reaching out on behalf of Central Whidbey Little League to seek assistance with our umpiring needs for the upcoming season.

Our league provides a positive and structured environment where young athletes can develop their skills, sportsmanship, and love for the game.

However, to ensure a successful season, we rely on dedicated volunteers and community members to help officiate our games.

We need umpires to support our teams and keep our games running smoothly.

Whether you are an experienced umpire or someone willing to learn, we welcome all levels of involvement.

Training and resources can be provided for those new to the role, and any time you can contribute would be greatly appreciated.

We currently have two committed umpires. However, we have softball, and minor and major league baseball needing umpires.

Your support would significantly impact our players, coaches, and the overall experience of our league.
