Want to put some zip into your dribbling skills?

Chris Hyppa might be your answer.

A former high school coach who has gone on to work with NBA and WNBA players such as Avery Bradley and Courtney Vandersloot, he holds skills clinics across the country.

One of those clinics is set for Coupeville High School Feb. 27.

There will be separate sessions for 5th to 8th grade players and 9th grade-adults, and both clinics will be capped at 40 players, so early registration is suggested.

The pertinent info can be found in the snazzy photo above.

Hyppa coached at Henry Foss High School in Tacoma from 2003-2006, then followed that up with a stint at his alma mater, Stadium, from 2006-2012.

He has worked with thousands of players, several of whom have gone on to play professionally.

That list includes Abdul Gaddy, Steven Gray, Alex Montgomery, Lindsey Moore and Brandon Brown.

Get ready to spike.

The Whidbey Fury Volleyball Club, whose coaching staff includes Coupeville High School spiker guru Breanne Smedley, is offering clinics for kids in grades K-5 starting tonight.

The clinics, which will be held at North Whidbey Middle School in Oak Harbor and Anacortes, run through April.

Cost is just $5 for a single clinic or if you sign your child up as a frequent flier (five or 10 clinics), you can drop the price by a sweet $1 per clinic.

Times are 5:-5:45 PM for K-2 and 6-7 PM for grades 3-5.

The clinics will focus on the fundamentals of volleyball while developing a love for the game.

“It’s a great way to introduce kids to volleyball!,” Smedley said.
