Soccer is exploding on The Rock.

For Coupeville players, the Central Whidbey Soccer Club is once again the hub for action, with registration for the spring season going on now.

The club plans to build teams from U6 to U19, with several new options added.

After previously running U15 as co-ed, CWSC is offering separate girls and boys divisions this time around, with the goal of “rebuilding and growing girls’ participation.”

Soccer organizations based out of both North and South Whidbey are doing the same as well, to help build female interest in the sport.

Central Whidbey is also adding a U19 co-ed program to the spring, with games set for Sunday, allowing high school athletes a chance to play soccer without encroaching on their school sports seasons.

The move is helped by Orcas Island returning to join Whidbey teams, allowing for more games.

Soccer supporters are asking for the public to give their input to an ongoing survey being conducted by the Oak Harbor School District.

The survey, which focuses on plans for future capital improvements, includes the possibility of the district building a new elementary school on its Fort Nugent property.

If that were to happen, it would likely include a substantial reduction of the athletic fields which are currently the home for youth soccer players from North, Central, and South Whidbey.

The current layout offers one of the few centralized spaces allowing for multiple teams from the entire island to practice, without the much-higher fees charged by schools to use their facilities.

The magic number is 21.

That’s how many goals Coupeville High School soccer players have combined to score this season, with nine different Wolves beating opposing goaltenders.

Leading the way is freshman Tamsin Ward, who has accounted for more than a third of the tallies by herself.

The numbers are ever-shifting, however, and with the Wolf girls slated to play four more regular season games, and the boys scheduled for seven, expect things to change.

Where we sit, as of Oct. 8:

 

Girls:

Tamsin Ward – 8
Lyla Grose – 3
Paige Hill – 2
Finley Helm – 1
Ariella Lee-Spaulding – 1

 

Boys:

Sage Arends – 2
Brian Thompson – 2
Liam Lawson – 1
Edmund Wilson – 1
