Find your pickleball passion

Posted in Community Sports, tagged community events, Langley, pickleball, raffle prizes, snacks on July 7, 2021| Leave a Comment »

It’s the sport that’s sweeping the nation.

Pickleball, invented on Bainbridge Island in the ’60s, combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong into a game perfect for all age, and skill groups.

At the professional level, South Whidbey High School graduates Lindsey and Riley Newman are among the best in the world, raking in money and medals as they terrorize all challengers.

Now, the city of Langley is putting on a community day devoted to the sport, with all events free to the public.

Things go down from 10-2 this Saturday, July 10, at the South Whidbey Sports Complex (5598 Langley Road).

There will be pickleball demonstrations, with raffles and snacks, and the opportunity to sign up for programs.

All ages are welcome, with families encouraged to attend together.

If rain should splatter down upon Langley, the event will be bumped back a week, until Saturday, July 17.

“I got moves like Ronaldo, son!!”

"I was told there would be post-match snacks. I would hope I was not misinformed..."

“I was told there would be post-match snacks. I would certainly hope I was not misinformed…”

“There better be snacks!! Why else do you think I agreed to coach?!?!”

“SNNNNNNAAAACCKKKKSSSS!!!!”

"Snacks?!?! Here, you have the ball! I gotta get over there before they give out all the orange slices and I get stuck with that one grapefruit they slipped in and hoped no one noticed..."

“Here, you have the ball! I gotta get there before they give out all the orange slices and I get stuck with that one grapefruit they slipped in and hoped no one noticed…”

“Am I the only one around here still doing their job?!?!”

The brother also rises.

Coupeville High School senior Dalton Martin may be getting a large chunk of the spotlight right now, what with being a state meet-approved track star, but lil’ brother Logan is charging hard in a bid to unseat the king.

Logan and other BU12 booters were the focus Saturday as travelin’ photo man John Fisken clicked away, and the photos above capture the possible future of Wolf soccer.

We are the champions … of piggyback rides!!” (Wendy McCormick photos)

“You shall not pass! Or score!!” The defense is strong in this one.

“Take my picture?!?! Well … maybe.” And another Wolf photo star is born.

“Ladies … time to go kick some fanny!!”

Daydreaming of all the goals she's about to score.

Sunny afternoons and soccer daydreams.

“I’ve got places to be, and goals to score!!”

"It's like a Western shootout waitin' to happen round here. Good thing they call me Mrs. Eastwood!!"

“It feels like a High Noon-style Western shootout waitin’ to happen round here. Good thing they call me Mrs. Eastwood!!”

The real reason any of them play soccer? Post-game snacks. It’s all about the snacks.

The sun was out and the soccer ball was bouncin’.

While the high school girls battled the two-time defending state champs, the next generation of Wolf stars was busy ruling the pitch over at Ft. Nugent.

Proud mom Wendy McCormick was on hand to snap photos as the local GU12 squad battled, and the photos above are courtesy her.

Let’s talk about dresses (seriously)!!

I’m all about that dress.

Well, at least for a moment. Then we’re back to sports.

But, since a fair amount of Coupeville High School’s best athletes have been known to wear a dress or two, it all fits together.

So, doing my public service, I’m here to give you a head’s up on My Fairy Godmother, a project run by the Coupeville Soroptimists.

It offers high school girls a chance to obtain formal dresses for Prom and other such dances for a small fee.

A very small fee.

Cost is $15 and you get $10 of that back when you return the dress. Donate a dress yourself and the cost drops even further.

There are 200+ dresses to choose from, with a variety of sizes and styles available.

To take advantage of the service (and enjoy the sparkling cider and snacks offered with the dress search), contact Amy Briscoe at (360) 929-7829 to set up an appointment.

And that’s about all I have to say about dresses for the time being, though I am willing to keep talking about these here snacks…
