The future is coming, one spike at a time.

Coupeville’s younger volleyball players are busy tearing up the court right now at the middle school level, anxious to emulate their high-flying role models on the first-place high school squad.

As they played Thursday at home against Chimacum, photographer John Fisken snapped away, capturing a mix of 7th and 8th grade action.

Want to break into the coaching biz?

There’s no better time than now, especially if you have some volleyball knowledge.

With the start of school less than a month away, Coupeville Middle School is hot to trot to add a coach to the program, and time is of the essence.

The first day of practice for CMS sports is Sept. 6, also the first day of school.

The job would be ideal for someone seeking their first coaching job, though no one’s going to turn you away if you, say, won a handful of NCAA and Olympics titles and are now looking for a quiet retirement gig.

Hey, could happen.

If interested, contact CHS/CMS Athletic Director Willie Smith at wsmith@coupeville.k12.wa.us.

Stage or court, Melia Welling shines!!

Melia Welling is busy these days.

The younger sister of Wolf football/baseball star Julian Welling, she’s spending the summer before 8th grade bouncing back and forth between sports and the arts.

She recently took part in a volleyball camp held at Coupeville High School, and is currently involved in a production of The Pirates of Penzance at the Whidbey Playhouse.

A pianist who also enjoys singing (and her English classes), Welling wants to play softball in high school and has participated in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.

That program gave her a chance to work with recent CHS grad Lyndsi Applegarth, who was her “big” the past two years.

When fall rolls around Welling will be hard at work on the volleyball court, refining her skill set in a sport she’s still fairly new to.

“I started playing volleyball last year, just to try something new,” she said.

Her main goal is to make the varsity team, and she enjoys serving and being part of a team.

“I’d like to work on passing and getting to the ball faster,” Welling said. “But I’m pretty good at serving.”

Whether on the stage or the volleyball court, Welling looks to her mom for support and guidance.

When asked who had the biggest influence on her life, the young spiker didn’t even need to answer, as her mom jumped on the question quickly.

“Her Mom!!! Go me!,” Michion Welling said with a laugh.

Strong mom, strong daughter. A perfect recipe for success.
