Fancy yourself the next Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp?

Coupeville might not be the soccer hotbed that Europe is, but you can get your start here, or take the next step on your path to being a true pitch guru.

The Central Whidbey Soccer Club, which is currently gearing up for its fall season, needs men and women willing to guide its young players through practices and games.

Coaches are needed for U8, U10, and U12 teams.

Prior experience is not required, just a passion for soccer, and an ability to be “patient and understanding, organized and efficient, and able to work with children of different ages and abilities.”

Central Whidbey Soccer will hold a coaches meeting Aug. 22 at 6:00 PM at the Penn Cove Taproom, which is located at 103 S. Main St.

Games begin Sept. 9, with practices starting a week or two before.

Those interested in coaching should contact the club at president@centralwhidbeysoccer.com or info@centralwhidbeysoccer.com.

Coaching is an art, and the men and women leading Coupeville High School spring sports programs are painting masterpieces.

Baseball, softball, and girls’ tennis are all in the mix for league titles, while track and field has big numbers and bigger talent.

As we work our way through the regular season and heads towards the postseason, a look at some of those coaches in their natural habitat.

Wolf softball coaches, buffeted by the prairie wind, dream about a covered stadium.

The brain trust behind the successful CHS track squad, which has its deepest roster in years.

Ken Stange has coached for two decades, and he’s got wisdom for Hayley Fiedler and Vivian Farris. “Hit the ball where they ain’t!”

Morgan Payne ponders getting a shave, or flashes a sign. It’s the trickery of baseball.

Kevin McGranahan points out where he wants his players to go. “Home! I want you to score!!”

Nine out of 11 ain’t bad.

We’re kicking off a new week with a photographic look at Coupeville High School coaches, though we’re missing two.

That’s because I already used soccer guru Kyle Nelson’s pic earlier this season.

And, for whatever reason, I’ve never seen head shots for this year’s Wolf cross country squad, which rules out trail queen Paige Spangler.

At least for now.

But the other nine coaches, covering volleyball, cheer, football, and boys soccer, are here, and awaiting — in alphabetic order — your perusal.
