Your diamond destiny calls.

That crisp breeze wafting across the prairie signals the approach of “spring” sports, and there’s never been a better time to pick up a mitt and join the Coupeville High School baseball team.

The Wolves kick off practice this coming Monday, Mar. 2, and CHS coaches are hoping for a strong turnout.

After back-to-back trips to the state tourney, Coupeville had to scramble to field a starting nine a season ago and would love to have some depth on the bench this time around.

Which makes it a prime-time opportunity for prospective players.

In related news, Central Whidbey Little League is forming a Juniors team (ages 13-14) and also looking for a couple more players.

So, parents, time to toss the video game system, shoo your son outside and get him to the diamond, post haste.

Free softball skills camp for young sluggers

Learn to love the sport early.

Central Whidbey Little League is offering a free softball skills clinic for girls ages 5-13, a prime opportunity to tantalize your children with the allure of diamond life.

The camp is set for Monday, Feb. 16 at Rhododendron Park, and all the info is in the photo above.

Girls can bring personal equipment if they have it, but CWLL will also have extra gloves available for prospective players.

The event can be a great icebreaker, especially for those who may not have played the sport previously.

“We’ve found that softball/baseball often needs a lot of prep and commitment from parents,” Mandi Black said. “And it can feel easier to say no than to sign up and buy all the gear without knowing if your child will even like the sport.

“So, we had an idea, this is a “come try it out” opportunity.

“A chance for kids to test the sport, have fun, see how amazing it is, and then decide if it’s something they want to sign up for.”

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.”

One generation of players passing on lessons to the next.

Current Coupeville High School baseball players and coaches spent time Sunday with Central Whidbey Little League’s Majors team, helping cement the connection between both programs.

For the Wolves, who head into a two-game series with Mount Vernon Christian this week to end the regular season, it was a chance “to help fuel the love of the game” and “give back to the program where it all began.”

For the CWLL stars, the event gave them a window into a world they hope to fully occupy one day.

In short, a win-win for the growth and success of Coupeville baseball.
