The work, and fun, begins.

Coupeville basketball coaches are encouraging young hoops stars to practice their dribbling skills during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Even though kids can’t get together for their normal weekly youth basketball clinics, that doesn’t mean they have to go without.

Each week Wolf coaches and players will post videos showcasing different skills.

Today’s post features former CHS star Lindsey Roberts and fast-rising middle school supernova Landon Roberts.

Watch, follow along, and get your reps in, as you build your hoops game one skill at a time.

Grab a ball and get to work.

While the COVID-19 pandemic shut down schools across Washington state, Coupeville youth basketball players are being encouraged to keep working on their ballhandling skills.

CHS coaches, with a big assist from middle school and high school Wolf hoops stars, are launching the Spring 2020 Youth Dribbling Challenge.

“It’s a collaborative effort, Coupeville athletes and coaches introducing this together,” CHS varsity boys coach Brad Sherman said. “Athletes willingly stepping up to keep working with youth basketball players!”

Each week, Sherman will post new videos showing current and former Wolf basketball players demonstrating skills for younger athletes to practice.

The videos will be on the Coupeville Youth Basketball page on Facebook (you can request to join) and here on Coupeville Sports.

If young Wolf athletes don’t have a basketball, they can check out a ball for the spring and summer.

Parents can contact Sherman at bsherman@coupeville.k12.wa.us.

“We hope you have fun with this and look forward to staying connected with you,” Sherman said.

Mollie Bailey brings the shake, and the bake, to her dribbling.

Maddy Hilkey’s dribbling style? Smooth, like butter.

Chelsea Prescott gets a 1-on-1 lesson from CHS coach David King.

It all starts with a dribble.

Basketball success is predicated on many factors, but owning strong ball-handling skills is pretty high on the list.

As three-time defending Olympic League champs, the Coupeville High School girls squad knows that and embraces it.

Working under the guidance of longtime hoops gurus David and Amy King, the Wolves worked on building their game from the ground floor up during the early days of practice.

Wandering through the gym was mad clicker John Fisken, who delivers unto us the pics seen above.

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.
