Spring sports are just around the corner at the Minden Recreation Center, and organizers are calling for volunteer coaches as youth athletics prepare to kick off another season of baseball, softball and tee-ball for local children.

Registration for the 2026 Spring Baseball & Softball season opened earlier this year with an extended registration deadline of February 25. The season typically runs from March through May, giving young athletes ages 3 through 12 an opportunity to get outside, learn fundamental skills and build team camaraderie.

Organizers said having volunteer coaches is a vital part of the Rec’s success, as these roles help ensure young athletes receive positive instruction, encouragement and support throughout the season. Background checks are part of the Rec’s efforts to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all participants.

Parents, grandparents, community members and teens are all invited to consider stepping up and helping lead a team this spring. Those interested or seeking more information about coaching, team organization, or available age divisions are encouraged to call 318-371-4235.
