YOUTH ATHLETICS 

Registration fees are based on Residents & Non-Residents of Smithfield.  Smithfield Residents are defined as residing within the incorporated city limits of Smithfield.  ALL FEES ARE DUE AT TIME OF REGISTRATION.  Registration will not be processed without payment.  If you have played with us before, you can access your account (www.SRAConline.com) and register your child yourself.  If you are accessing your account for the first time, please call us to get your login.  (Once you are logged in - you can change your password.)    

If you do NOT have an account set up, and are new to Smithfield Parks & Recreation, we can assist you and get you set up in the system.  You can not set up your profile in the system yourself.

When registering, please select only one sport per season, due to conflicting schedules for both practices and games.

INTERESTED IN COACHING?

Being a volunteer coach is not only an opportunity to grow our youth to become more skilled athletes but more importantly to make a positive impact on each player and teach important life skills such as teamwork, good sportsmanship, and respect. We take pride in training our coaches to be the best coach and mentor that they can be. Before each season begins, we hold a one-evening Coaches Clinic to prepare our coaches with insight and materials to hit the season running. Each coach is required to fill out a Volunteer Coaching Application Form and conduct a background check. Please contact our Athletics Supervisor, Ethan Blailock, for more information at ethan.blailock@smithfield-nc.com.
