Belmont Swansea United Senior Soccer Club colours are Bottle Green & Gold. On game days you are required to present [playing or not] as a proud Belswans club member in club dress shirt [supplied], black dress pants and black shoes, even if you have an injury.

All players are required to have the following before they take the field:

• Bottle green socks with two gold strips – as supplied
• Bottle green shorts with gold inserts – as supplied
• Soccer Boots & Shinpads (Shinpads are compulsory and must be worn at both training and games)

“Can you spare a couple of hours throughout the season to help us?” Volunteers Required

We have the opportunity at every home game to add much needed profit to the club’s bank account, home game days are the main source of income and raises money to subsidise trophies, training equipment, balls, player payments, pizza nights, player incentives, maintenance, improvements, utilities, coaches etc. This year we are asking all players to nominate themselves, a family member, girl friend or mate to occasionally help with the canteen, bbq, gate or raffle.
Belswans works on a tight financial budget unlike most clubs in our competition – we do not have the financial support of juniors and must keep a tight rein on the budget throughout each season. If we do not capitalise on our opportunities at home games we will struggle to improve and compete at this level. We need YOU or your mum, dad, wife, sister, brother, boyfriend, girlfriend or mate to OFFER SOME HELP .....
Do You Realise? Belswans has only survived over the past years due to a handful of dedicated players and supporters who have volunteered their time and effort each week. YOU have enjoyed playing soccer with referees, linesmen, physio, a nice soft playing ground, hot showers, electricity, something yummy to eat, a cold beer/drink, enjoying the other grades and the mateship that comes from playing at Belswans...... think about it....

Something to think about;
Ability can take you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there..................Potential is what you're capable of doing………Motivation determines what you do…………. Attitude determines how well you do it………

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny." - Frank Outlaw
