All your info.

Get ready for spike season.

Wolf Pup volleyball launches in early April, giving Coupeville girls in grades 3-5 a chance to learn drills, play games, and rub elbows with high school stars and coaches.

“We are very excited to continue our tradition of introducing eager players to the fundamentals of the sport as well as an early love of the game!” said CHS coach Cory Whitmore.

The Wolf spiker guru is quick to note these are “low-stress, introductory practices” and coaches will provide extra help to make sure things go smoothly.

Since spring is a busy time, they are willing to work to accommodate schedules.

That can include working with those players who need to leave early, arrive late, or miss some of the days.

Also, coaches offer an adult-led walking group which will escort players from the elementary school to the high school gym each Tuesday and Thursday.

“We’re happy to get players safely where they need to go,” Whitmore said.

“There should be a number of faces you’ll recognize.”

When he wants me to ignore the name of the blog, which starts with the word COUPEVILLE, that’s usually how Diet Coke-fueled camera clicker John Fisken begins his pitch.

And yes, I do recognize Cory Whitmore, who doubles as an Oak Harbor High School teacher and Coupeville High School volleyball coach.

Plus, a couple of fans who call Cow Town home, and a couple of other spikers who we associate with all things Central Whidbey.

But what I also see are a lot of Wildcats who should be talking to their parents about transferring to Coupeville to become Wolves.

I mean, as someone who has a purple-tinted diploma from OHHS, I can tell you — that’s no way to go through life, son.

With that said, I then stumble across the word “free photos,” and promptly lose all my ideals.

Such is life.

Fine. Oak Harbor stuff on a pro-Coupeville web site. Cats and dogs living together next.

Nothing is sacred anymore.

Oh, and those free photos I mentioned? To see many, many more, pop over to:

There’s something for everyone.

Coupeville High School and Middle School volleyball coaches and players are planning three skills camps for summer action.

Children entering grades K-6 can take part in one camp, while there are two separate camps for those headed to grades 7-12.

Money raised by the camps benefits CHS volleyball, and will help cover things such as tournament fees, jerseys, and updating equipment.

“Very excited to keep this annual event going,” said high school spiker guru Cory Whitmore.

All the pertinent information can be found in the photos above and below, so take a gander.

Unleash your best spike!

Coupeville Elementary School students in grades 3-5 are invited to participate in Wolf Pup volleyball.

A series of fun practices for spikers of all skill levels, the event is run by high school coaches and athletes, with money benefitting the CHS volleyball program.

Athletes can attend any number of the 14 practices offered, as Wolf coaches are very accommodating with working with players who may be juggling multiple activities.
