Smithfield
Recreation Association (SRA) is a local non-profit organization (I.R.C. §501(c)(3)) that
runs baseball and softball for children (ages 5-16) in the
Northern Isle of Wight, Carrollton and Smithfield, Virginia areas. Incorporated in the
Spring of 1968, we are not a part of Isle of Wight County's Parks and
Recreation system. We do not receive any funding from either the Town of
Smithfield or Isle of Wight County. Beale Park resulted from a land
donation made by the late Carl M. Beale over 40 years ago. Through his
generous donation and many volunteers and supporters over the years
Beale Park has developed into the facility it is today.
SRA MISSION STATEMENT
To encourage, in all of the children who participate in our program,
the development of sportsmanship, athletic skill, teamwork,
self-reliance, self-discipline, and the ability to win graciously and to
lose with dignity.
