The spikers of tomorrow learned big lessons today.

New Coupeville High School volleyball coach Cory Whitmore and a bunch of his Wolf players gathered at the CHS gym Saturday to put on a skills clinic for the community’s youngest hitters.

Sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club, the event was a fast-paced, fun morning, complete with photographer.

Bouncing around Coupeville to snap pics at several locations, wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken snagged the glossy photos above, which he was nice enough to share with us.

She works hard for the money. McKenzie Bailey, the brains behind everything.

   Now, it’s possible the guy on the right lost his trusty steed and is actually chasing his horse. Never know.

“Take my photo and I chop your head off, paparazzi!!”

"Take me out for a walk, they said. Didn't say nothing 'bout no costumes..."

   “Take me out for a walk, they said. Didn’t say nothing ’bout wearing no costumes. If the other dogs hear about this…”

“Keep up, old man! I’m gonna lap you!!”

Wonder Woman was in town Saturday.

In fact, at least two versions of her, and a whole ton of other costume-clad folks, were on display as the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club held a costume 5K.

We could try and track down who won, and what their times were, or we could just skip all that and move on to the photos.

Photos, it is.

Smedley

Brett Smedley, camp director and new CHS head football coach.

Your future is waiting. Will you step up and tackle it?

Future gridiron warriors who are entering grades 3-6 can take part in a football camp run by the Coupeville High School coaching staff and current and former Wolf players.

The camp runs July 8-9 from 9 AM-noon both days and cost is $30 for one session or $60 for both days (includes camp t-shirt).

Registration is ongoing at the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club (203 N. Main).

Sessions will cover the fundamentals of passing, catching, blocking, tackling, and kicking with work on basic offensive and defensive systems.

Players will scrimmage and there will be a camp tournament, daily awards and team building activities.

The camp is run by new CHS head coach Brett Smedley, who brings 14 years of football playing and coaching to the field.

A former player at Linfield College, he coached high school football in Vancouver before coming to Coupeville, where has has been a PE teacher and assistant coach.

He inherits the head coaching spot for the Wolves this fall with the departure of Tony Maggio.

Smedley and his staff want the camp to “provide campers with an experience that improves his/her football skills in a safe and positive environment.”

“Players are encouraged to reach their fullest potential and come away from camp not only with new skills but an enthusiasm for the game,” he said. “We focus on a maximum number of quality repetitions and give students a high level of attention through a low camper to coach ratio.

“Finally, we expect players to learn and have fun!”

Build for the future, now.

The Coupeville Boys & Girls Club is offering summer volleyball camps for players entering grades 3-8, with instruction coming from CHS coach Breanne Smedley and current and former Wolf spikers.

The camps run June 18-20 and costs $30 for one session or $75 for all three (includes camp t-shirt), with registration ongoing at the boys & girls club (203 N. Main).

Sessions will run from 9 AM-noon each day of the camp for players in grades 6-8 and 1-4 PM for those in grades 3-5.

The fundamentals of passing, setting, blocking, attacking and serving will be covered, with work done on basic offensive and defensive systems.

Players will be challenged at their level of ability, with the camp including scrimmages, a tournament, daily awards and drawings.

Smedley, who is entering her second season at the helm of the Wolf program, brings 10+ years of playing and coaching experience to the floor.

She played volleyball at Western Washington University, then coached club volleyball before taking over at CHS.

She’s currently a Physical Education Specialist at Broad View Elementary in Oak Harbor.

Smedley’s goal is to have each camper come away with “an experience that improves his/her volleyball skills in a safe and positive environment.

“Players are encouraged to reach their fullest potential and come away from camp not only with new skills but an enthusiasm for the game,” she added. “We focus on a maximum number of quality ball contacts and give students a high level of attention through a low camper to coach ratio.

“Finally, we expect players to learn and have fun!”
