The younger brother has mad skills as well.
While Coupeville soccer ace Chayse Van Velkinburgh is busy training in Spain, the youngest sharpshooter in the family continues to tear up the pitch.
Maysen Van Velkinburgh, currently a 2nd grader at Coupeville Elementary School, wrapped up a torrid run Sunday at the Cranberry Cup in Woodinville.
Playing in the championship game, he knocked in his kick as his Oak Harbor-based BU9 squad claimed the title with a 2-1 win after a penalty kick shootout.
The younger Van Velkinburgh tallied five of his team’s 12 goals at the tourney and has 13 scores over the past eight games.
And while he’s raining down scores, he’s not the only Coupeville kid playing a major role for the team.
Conner Armstrong, son of CHS grad Linnane O’Connor, stands tall in the goal for the team.
