The Hays Recreation Commission has issued an urgent plea for help for the upcoming spring sports seasons for youngsters.

Coaches are needed for the following age/sports: 7-8 girls soccer; 7-8 boys soccer; 9-10 boys soccer; 6-8 flag football; and 9-12 flag football.

“If coaches are not found, teams will be made without them,” the HRC said Friday. “Then parents will be called and someone will have to step up and coach or they will not play!”

If you can help, email [email protected] by Tuesday with your contact info (email and phone number), or call Keith Smith Youth Sports Director at (785) 623-2650.
