The Hays Recreation Commission is seeking more adult volunteers to coach in its spring sports program.

According to HRC Sports Director Keith Smith, 39 head coaches are needed immediately.

“That is about 325 kids that will not get to play this spring without someone stepping forward and coaching,” Smith said in a news release.

Smith also said it’s “not an excuse” if you don’t know anything about soccer or flag football.  “We can teach you all you need to know. We can help you set up practices and give you drills and games to play so you are all set for the season,” he said.

Coaches are needed in the following areas:

5/6 Girls Soccer – 4 coaches
5/6 Boys Soccer – 6 coaches

7/8 Girls Soccer – 6 coaches
7/8 Girls Soccer – 6 coaches

9/10 Girls Soccer – 3 coaches
9/10 Boys Soccer – 4 coaches

11-14 Coed Soccer – 2 coaches

6-8 Flag Football – 5 coaches
9-12 Flag Football – 3 coaches

“We would like to thank the head coaches who have already volunteered to give their time to coach this spring,” Smith added.
