The committed.

Two weeks and counting.

The start of fall sports practice looms on the horizon (actually it’s only nine days away if you’re a football player — they begin Aug. 16), but some athletes are already hard at work.

Coupeville High School’s weight room is open Monday-Friday for SST (Sports Specific Training), and a broad range of Wolves or Wolves-to-be have taken advantage.

Monday morning brought a blast from the past, as well, as former CHS/CMS coaches Ryan King, Dustin Van Velkinburgh and Brett Smedley swung by to give CMS football guru Bob Martin a helping hand.

The countdown has begun.

The start of fall high school sports is three weeks away — less if you’re playing football — and Wolf athletes are hard at work.

Coupeville High School’s weight room is open for SST (Sports Specific Training) Monday-Friday in August, with the action kicking off each morning at 8 AM.

Dates to keep in mind going forward:

Thursday, Aug. 10 — High School/Middle School Sports Day in the school gym (12-6 PM). Register for fall sports and get a physical if needed.

Wednesday, Aug. 16 — First day of high school football practice.

Monday, Aug. 21 — First day of practice for high school girls soccer, volleyball and boys tennis.

Friday, Sept. 1 — First game of the 2017-2018 school year, as CHS football heads to Langley to defend ownership of The Bucket. Kickoff is 7 PM.

Wednesday, Sept. 6 — First day of practice for middle school football and volleyball.

How much do you want it?

If you want to walk the walk, and not just talk the talk, now is the time to put in work.

With school ending Thursday, the chance to put in off-season workouts will be very available for CHS/CMS students.

The school’s weight room will be open every Monday-Thursday from June 13 (that’s this coming Monday) to July 28, with one exception — the 4th of July.

“That would be anti-American,” said Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith with a chuckle.

Hours of use are 8-9:30 AM and 5-6:30 PM and athletes will be able to make use of the school’s SST (Speed Strength Training) program.

You know athletes at King’s and ATM will be in the weight room.

Are you, the future of Wolf Nation, ready to put in the same level of commitment and work?

Yes, yes you are.
