Schedule your spring (in pencil)

It’s the trickiest season of them all.

Spring sports, which began Monday with the first day of practice, take place outdoors, where weather can have an outsize effect on things.

Will the prairie be buffeted by wind and rain? History says yes.

Will games be shuffled, often at the last second? History says yes.

Will we still write the schedules in ink, then regret that decision later? History says, were you not listening??

It’s a foolhardy plan we follow, but it’s too late to change now.

So, here are the Coupeville High School spring sports schedules, as of March 4, with a * indicating a league game.

Will everything still be in place by March 5? Best of luck on that.

Volunteers prep CHS softball field

The countdown to Opening Day is underway.

With the first day of practice set for Monday, Coupeville High School softball players, coaches, and team supporters gathered at the diamond Saturday to get the field prepped.

The “Preseason Work Party” was organized by Aaron Lucero, who is taking the reins of the program as the new head coach, with the all-hands-on-deck call attracting 29 participants.

The group “removed over 100 tires from the tarp, uncovered the infield, rolled up the tarp, moved the chain link fencing pieces from the dugouts and set-up the outfield fence, secured the backstop pads, and put together the batting cage,” and that was just the start.

Lucero’s bunch also “spread some new infield mix with the use of a private citizen’s tractor, cleaned the dugouts, and removed last year’s roster signs from the dugout.”

Afterwards the crew was rewarded with an assortment of fruit, donuts, and beverages, all donated by a Wolf Mom and Grandma.

Gordon McMillan, the squad’s esteemed scorebook keeper, was one of many thrilled to see so much support for the CHS softball program.

“All volunteers,” he said. “In my humble opinion, the district is very fortunate to have what we call the “Softball Group” to make sure our Lady Wolves have a safe and playable facility to spread the joy of woman’s softball.”

You, an umpire? Yes!!

Posted in Little League, tagged baseball, Central Whidbey Little League, Softball, spring, umpires on February 11, 2025| Leave a Comment »

Want to be in charge? Make the final call? Wear a snazzy uniform?

All of that (and more) can be yours if you step up and help local baseball and softball players by volunteering as an umpire with Central Whidbey Little League.

CWLL, which closes player registration Feb. 28, has two umpires in place for this spring, but needs more to be able to pull off the season.

James Meek, Umpire in Charge for the league, has issued the following statement:

Hello Central Whidbey Community!

I hope this letter finds you well.

I am reaching out on behalf of Central Whidbey Little League to seek assistance with our umpiring needs for the upcoming season.

Our league provides a positive and structured environment where young athletes can develop their skills, sportsmanship, and love for the game.

However, to ensure a successful season, we rely on dedicated volunteers and community members to help officiate our games.

We need umpires to support our teams and keep our games running smoothly.

Whether you are an experienced umpire or someone willing to learn, we welcome all levels of involvement.

Training and resources can be provided for those new to the role, and any time you can contribute would be greatly appreciated.

We currently have two committed umpires. However, we have softball, and minor and major league baseball needing umpires.

Your support would significantly impact our players, coaches, and the overall experience of our league.
