Norfolk Academy celebrated the completion of the Harvey L. Lindsay Jr. Soccer Complex at Homecoming, before the varsity boys soccer team earned a big win on October 10.

The complex is named for Harvey Lindsay, a Norfolk Academy Trustee from 1986 to 1989, renowned throughout the Commonwealth for his work as a commercial real estate developer, civic leader, and philanthropist. The generosity of Mr. Lindsay's daughter, Franny Beasley, and her husband Bobby Beasley ’70, made the state-of-the-art complex a reality.

While the playing fields debuted last year, the impressive seating venue, complete with space for the NA-TV broadcast team, opened this fall. At Friday's celebration, Head of School Travis Larrabee thanked the Beasley family; Bobby '06 and his wife Allison '02, were both on hand.

“This beautiful space not only honors one of the most celebrated leaders of our region, Harvey L. Lindsay Jr., it is a living testament to the beauty of sport," Larrabee said. “You have not only transformed our physical campus through this gift, you have elevated the experience for so many boys and girls who put on the blue and orange and compete with pride, with heart, and with sportsmanship."
