Activities

The Emporia-Greensville Recreation Association, Inc. (EGRA) is the largest recreation provider in Emporia and Greensville County.

EGRA has organized leagues involving over 1,000 people and an estimated 30,000 visitors use the association operated parks, Meherrin River and Center Street, annually.

The programming includes baseball, softball, football, soccer and basketball.  While many of the activities of the organized leagues have a youth focus, men and women play softball on EGRA fields, as do some teams from Greensville County High School when needed.

Since Emporia and Greensville County do not operate their own public recreation programs, groups like EGRA provide a cost efficient recreation delivery system partially funded with public money, but offset by volunteer, fees and fundraising.

While the association's officers and directors provide leadership for the well established program, hundreds of volunteer coaches and assistants are the reason behind this local success story.  That is why the Association's motto is "EGRA Works For Our Kids!"
