Flag football mania is sweeping the nation.
Or at least Whidbey Island, as Camp Casey is hosting a free clinic Sept. 6 for players ages 5-12.
After that, the YMCA will run an eight-week flag football league for interested players. Cost for the league is $50 per player.

A local institution is changing owners after almost 70 years, but otherwise, things are expected to remain virtually the same.
Seattle Pacific University publicly announced Friday it entered a purchase and sale agreement with the YMCA of Snohomish County in September to sell the Camp Casey Conference Center and Fort Casey Inn.
The change becomes effective Jan. 1, 2025.
SPU has owned the property since purchasing it in 1956.
Camp Casey served “as an extension of Seattle Pacific’s educational mission and character formation through hosting classes and retreats as well as serving external groups like sport camps, churches, (and) educational groups,” SPU officials said in a statement,
As part of the announcement, SPU also released a FAQ list covering topics such as whether current reservations will be honored, what happens to the Camp Casey staff, and why the sale was made.

Hoopaholics, the early days.
They’re hitting both a milestone, and nothing but net.
Hoopaholics, a basketball camp geared at guys in the 30-and-above crowd, returns to Whidbey Island June 14-16.
It’s the 35th anniversary for the event, which is centered around Camp Casey, with game action held at Coupeville High School.
CHS players, coaches, and parents traditionally help out with clock management, food, and such, during the weekend, with Hoopaholics donating money to the Wolf hoops programs in return.
To be eligible to participate, you need to be 30 years of age and still possess a burning desire to pursue God’s Chosen Sport.
Though this year, in conjunction with the camp being held on Father’s Day Weekend, you can bring your son along, if they’re 21 or older.

The scouts get their first look at the new talent.
Wolf cheerleader Claire Mietus, rockin’ the evening’s most comfortable footwear.
Dinner and a show.
Is Ethan Kedrowski getting ready to run a route or trying to scope out what they’re eating on the sideline?
Wolf freshman Ulrik Wells made his high school football debut, and he had a boisterous fan club ready to cheer him on.
No one travels like Wolf fans.
And yes, going all the way out to Camp Casey isn’t exactly the same as trekking to, say, Eastern Washington. I get that.
But there was still a pretty good turnout Friday night for little more than a scrimmage, as Coupeville and visiting Lakeside stretched out their football muscles.
Wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken was in the area and snapped some pics of the Wolf National faithful to go along with his photos of gridiron warriors.
