WELCOME TO BELMONT FC
CLUB VALUES
Respect:
Maintaining integrity and respect is paramount in all interactions within our Club. Whether dealing with players, parents, or coaches, every person deserves dignified treatment. Our actions are guided by what serves the best interests of the child, fostering relationships grounded in mutual respect. Any form of abuse, whether verbal, physical, emotional, or sexual, is absolutely intolerable.
Positive Atmosphere and Ethos:
We are committed to nurturing a positive and uplifting atmosphere across all Club activities. Prioritizing the well-being of players, coaches, and parents, we aim to cultivate a child-centered ethos. This approach ensures a balanced integration of healthy competition and specialization, preventing undue pressure and promoting sustained engagement in sports.
Equality:
Fairness is at the core of our Club. We advocate for impartial treatment of all individuals, regardless of age, ability, gender, religion, or socio-economic background, enabling them to fully participate alongside their peers.
Fair Play:
Fair play serves as the foundation of our ethos, aligning with the principles outlined by the Irish Sports Council and the European Code of Sports Ethics. It surpasses mere adherence to rules, embodying values of camaraderie, respect, and honesty. Fair play is instilled as a mindset, addressing broader issues such as commercialization and corruption.
Balanced Competition:
We endorse a balanced approach to competition that promotes children's development while prioritizing enjoyment and fulfillment. Coaches and managers are encouraged to prioritize the child's welfare over competitive standards, ensuring that competition and specialization remain in perspective. Through these guiding principles, we aspire to foster an environment where every individual can thrive, both on and off the field.
We operate a junior academy known as The Belmont Little Kickers, located in Herbert Park, where they utilize the astroturf pitch for Saturday morning sessions.
​
Our club boasts teams spanning various age groups, ranging from Under 8 to Under 18. Matches for these teams are scheduled on either Saturday or Sunday mornings. Reflecting the current approach of the DDSL league as of 2014, some leagues for Under 8, 9, and 10 do not emphasize competition; results are not recorded, and league tables are not generated. However, starting from Under 11, both tables and results are meticulously documented and made available online at www.ddsl.ie
​
Operated entirely by volunteers, our club operates on a non-profit basis, with all financial resources reinvested into essential aspects such as jerseys and equipment.
