Wolf netters are on the move.
After getting school board approval for the project Thursday, Coupeville High School will build new tennis courts this summer, financed by money from its capital projects fund.
That funding is completely separate from any money which is part of the district’s ongoing budget cuts.
The current home for aces and volleys is next to CHS, in front of the school’s bus barn.
The new location for Wolf tennis will be just west of the high school gym on SW Terry Road, next to the school’s softball field.
The move, which will cover literally a few blocks, will begin in the next few weeks, with the courts expected to be ready for use in the fall, said Coupeville Schools Superintendent Steve King.
Once tennis departs its current spot, the school will use the area to expand its bus facilities.
While CHS is moving its tennis courts, and getting brand new playing surfaces, the plan calls for the number of courts to remain at four.
FieldTurf USA Inc., in conjunction with Beynon Sports Surfaces, submitted a bid of $1,040,510 (plus tax) for the work, which the board approved as part of its consent agenda.
