Registration for Coupeville Junior Cheer, aimed at students in K-5, is open now.

And your window is a narrow one, closing at 11 PM on September 9, or earlier if the student count hits 100.

Cost is $70 per cheerleader, or $60 for yell leader positions for boys, with all money going to help fund scholarships awarded by the Spirit of Cheer Booster Club to graduating CHS seniors.

Each junior cheerleader will get a sweatshirt and a new set of pre-fluffed pink poms in honor of breast cancer awareness month, while the yell leaders snag a sweatshirt and megaphone.

Practices will be held on Thursdays beginning September 10, with a halftime performance during Coupeville’s home game against Friday Harbor October 2.

For more info about practices, and to get your child signed up for the mega-popular event, pop over to:

Cheer is family.

That credo, nurtured over many years by former Coupeville High School spirit coach Sylvia Arnold, continues to reverberate down through the generations.

Now, the girls who once cheered for her are women, and they continue the job of spreading joy, love, and the skills required to live loud ‘n proud, supporting Wolf Nation in all its forms.

Current CHS cheer coach Jennifer Morrell is a proud alumnus, and three others from the sisterhood — Cavan Simonson, Kristina Williams, and Lynn Cosner — are currently hard at work preparing Coupeville’s youngest cheerleaders for their show-stopping performance.

Junior cheer, which is offered through the Spirit of Cheer Booster Club, raises funds for college scholarships which are then bestowed upon graduating seniors each year, keeping alive the “circle of cheer.”

This year’s performance is set for halftime of Coupeville’s football game with Adna, which is Saturday, Oct. 18. Game kickoff is 5:00 PM.

Triple digits, we’re talking triple digits.

There were 101 athletes (or was it 103?) on the field Friday night for Coupeville’s annual Junior Cheer performance, and that’s not counting the current Wolf spirit leaders.

Under the guidance of CHS cheer alumni Sylvia Arnold and Cavan Simonson, nearly every child of a certain age charged on to the gridiron as parents recorded the performance on their phones.

And yes, it got kind of loud on the prairie.

Of that you can be sure.

The gym already echoes with the sound of spirit.

The first game doesn’t arrive until Sept. 1, but the Coupeville High School cheer squad is already hard at work, taking part in summer camps.

A recent two-day event put on by the Spirit of Cheer booster club brought former Wolf coach Sylvia Arnold and international superstar Mica Shipley back to the CHS gym.

After the camp, the high-flying Shipley returns to Eastern Washington University, where she’ll be in her fourth season as an NCAA D-I cheerleader.

Working with renowned stunt coach Rob Webb, the former Wolves provided inspiration and expertise to a new generation of cheer stars, which you can see in the pics above and below.
