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.

If you or someone you know is interested in assisting with umpiring, please contact me at (360) 320-3717 or through Facebook Messenger.

We truly appreciate your consideration and any help you can offer.

Thank you for your time and support keeping youth baseball and softball a thriving part of our community.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

James Meek
Umpire in Charge
Central Whidbey Little League

If you were expecting to watch a home tennis match at Coupeville High School this spring, think again.

Work on the new courts next to the gym won’t be complete in time, so the Wolves will play all of their matches on the road.

The first day of practice is Feb. 26, with the opening match on what is currently a 10-bout schedule set for March 13.

That will be one of two rumbles with next-door neighbor South Whidbey, with other trips taking Coupeville’s netters to far-flung locales such as Friday Harbor, Granite Falls, and the wilds of Seattle.

The Wolves are entering a new era.

Not only will they have fresh courts (at some point), but new coaches Tim Stelling and Starla Seal replace Ken Stange, who retired after two decades at the helm of the CHS tennis programs.

One eye on the present, one on the future.

The Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball teams play for the third time this season Tuesday, with five more contests on the schedule between now and Mar. 9.

But even as that saga unwinds, the next chapter is already on the horizon.

CMS track and field, open to athletes in grades 6-8, kicks off a new season with the first day of practice Apr. 10.

Coupeville has a six-meet schedule in place, with all meets planned to start at 3:30 PM.

What the Wolves don’t currently have is a head coach, as the position is open after Paige Spangler moved out of state.

Jon Gabelein is listed as an assistant coach, however, so however it plays out, there’s at least one oval veteran around to keep things moving along.

 

2023 CMS track and field schedule:

Wed-Apr. 26 — HOME
Wed-May 3 — @ South Whidbey
Wed-May 10 — HOME
Wed-May 17 — @ King’s
Thur-May 25 — @ Cascade League Prelims (Lakewood)
Wed-May 31 — @ Cascade League Finals (Lakewood)
