ABOUT BELLPORT SOCCER CLUB
Club Mission
Our youth soccer program provides our players with a fun, age appropriate learning environment. We are committed to the belief that participation in soccer should be a privilege that is enjoyed by players, parents, coaches, and supporters alike, while giving everyone the opportunity to reach their Technical, Tactical, Physical, and Psycho-Social Potential.
Club Philosophy
We take a developmental approach, ensuring that we create both soccer players and fans for life, not just the calendar year. We encourage all players to be self-reliant and confident on the soccer field to express themselves without fear.At the youngest ages, this is done in small groups through a firm grounding of the fundamentals of soccer, maximizing contact and exposure to a soccer ball. As players grow, they are encouraged to work within the team environment, where they will develop a patient, possession based style of soccer that involves as many players as possible in both offense and defense. We also appreciate that soccer, and sport in general can play a huge part in the character development of our players. Therefore we will strive to instill the values of hard work, character, passion, and integrity to all players, parents, and coaches.
