Also hailed was Eryn Wood, named the top ACES Newcomer.

Previously honored were:

“Attitude” — Payton Aparicio, Zoe Trujillo, Abby Mulholland

“Competitiveness” — Mikayla Elfrank, Lita Woollet, Kylie Chernikoff

Coupeville High School volleyball coach Cory Whitmore is three days into a four-day skills camp, and so far he’s honored nine Wolves for their play.

Each day, three players have received awards for exemplifying one of the program’s core covenants.

Monday, it was “attitude,” while Tuesday was all about “competitiveness.” Wednesday brought “effort” to the forefront.

Whitmore, who guided CHS to its first league title in more than a decade during his rookie season last year, has the spiker program hoppin’.

More than 50 players in grades 7-12 have shown up for the skills camp, which wraps Thursday.

Summer is for spikes!!

As the weather warms, it’s time to head into the gym.

Coupeville High School volleyball coaches are planning two events for June, bringing the game they love to kids in grades K-12.

Leading off is the first annual Wolves Volleyball Skills Camp June 12-15.

Open to students entering grades 7-12 in the fall, the camp will run 3-6 PM each day and be held in the high school gym.

Cost is $25 and payment (and proof of a physical on file with the school) need to be submitted to Jamie Easton in the CHS office by May 26.

Cash and checks made out to “Coupeville High School” are accepted.

All participants will get a camp t-shirt.

Which, since this is the first-ever camp, will one day likely be a collectible.

If you’re smart, get CHS coach Cory Whitmore and current spiker stars like Emma Smith, Hope Lodell and Ashley Menges to sign your shirt.

Raises the dollar value down the road.

Whitmore, coming off an Olympic League title in his first season at the helm of the Wolves, views the camp as the perfect way to mesh current and future players in a fun environment.

“I’m really excited about this event and hope to make it a tradition for our summer plans,” he said. “We will get some crucial summer work done in preparation for the fall season, it will serve as a program fundraiser and provide a unifying t-shirt for our middle school and high school players.”

Questions can be directed to cwhitmore@coupeville.k12.wa.us or (509) 347-6301.

Then, June 23-24, Whitmore will team with the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club to present its Summer Volleyball Camp, with separate lessons for students entering K-2 and 3-6.

Those clinics, which cost $40, run from 9 AM – 1 PM each day.

Registration needs to be done by June 2 to get a t-shirt, though, if you’re willing to forego the shirt, you can register up to the day of the camp.

For more info and to register, swing by the Boys and Girls Club (203 N. Main), call 678-5640 or email caguilar@bgcsc.org.
