Get in on the ground floor.

Children ages 5-12 can take part in flag football and junior cheer programs being run at Camp Casey.

The season runs Mar. 2-May 2, with registration deadline set for Feb. 16. Cost is $100 per child.

Plans call for four groups, with players divided into ages 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12.

The programs, run by YMCA of Snohomish County branches, focuses on “skill development, sportsmanship, and fun.”

Teams will practice once or twice a week, depending on the age group, with Saturday afternoon games kicking off Mar. 22.

All players receive a replica National Football league jersey and an NFL flag set, with each child guaranteed to play at least half of every game.

Coaches are also needed, and you can volunteer by contacting Laura Callahan at lcallahan@ymca-snoco.org.

“We are … BIG RED!!”

Following in the footsteps of their heroes, Coupeville’s Junior Cheer participants — all 100 or so of them — lit up Mickey Clark Field last Saturday.

If history plays out as before, many of these young athletes will stick with the sport and one day join the CHS spirit squad themselves, keeping the circle of cheer going on and on.

Well, guess you’re not mowing that lawn after all.

This Saturday’s Coupeville High School home football game against Adna, which will feature a Junior Cheer performance at halftime, has been bumped forward two hours.

Originally slated to kickoff at 5:00 PM, now things will get underway at 3:00.

The non-conference clash will pit a 1-5 Coupeville squad coming off a huge 35-6 win over next-door neighbor South Whidbey against an Adna team riding a three-game winning streak and sitting at 4-2.

It marks only the second time this season the Wolves have laced it up against a fellow 2B school, with CHS having played five of six against 1A rivals.

Junior cheer preps for big show

Cheer is family.

That credo, nurtured over many years by former Coupeville High School spirit coach Sylvia Arnold, continues to reverberate down through the generations.

Now, the girls who once cheered for her are women, and they continue the job of spreading joy, love, and the skills required to live loud ‘n proud, supporting Wolf Nation in all its forms.

Current CHS cheer coach Jennifer Morrell is a proud alumnus, and three others from the sisterhood — Cavan Simonson, Kristina Williams, and Lynn Cosner — are currently hard at work preparing Coupeville’s youngest cheerleaders for their show-stopping performance.

Junior cheer, which is offered through the Spirit of Cheer Booster Club, raises funds for college scholarships which are then bestowed upon graduating seniors each year, keeping alive the “circle of cheer.”

This year’s performance is set for halftime of Coupeville’s football game with Adna, which is Saturday, Oct. 18. Game kickoff is 5:00 PM.
