Belwest Foxes Soccer Club is a volunteer community football club based in Canberra, Australia. The club provides a safe and inclusive environment for both children and adults to play soccer. Belwest is accredited under the National Club Accreditation Scheme at Level 1, ensuring the highest standards of quality and professionalism within the club.
As a community-focused club, Belwest relies on the dedication and support of its volunteers to provide a great experience for all participants. They are always on the lookout for volunteers to fill various committee roles, including Treasurer, Technical Director, Men's League Coordinator, Women's League Coordinator, and Junior League Coordinator. Becoming a valued volunteer at Belwest is not only a way to give back to the community but also an opportunity to contribute to the growth and success of the club.
Belwest is committed to fostering a respectful and positive atmosphere both on and off the field. They actively participate in Capital Football's RESPECT campaign, which aims to reduce abuse in football. All interactions with players, officials, coaches, volunteers, and Capital Football staff are expected to be respectful, as abuse and disrespectful behaviour have no place in the game.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Belwest and Capital Football prioritise the safety of all participants. They stay up to date with the latest guidelines and implement necessary actions to ensure everyone's well-being. If anyone has or suspects they have COVID-19, they are urged to follow the ACT Health Advice and stay home until symptoms pass. Vulnerable individuals are advised to wear masks and practise social distancing.
Belwest also emphasises the importance of creating a positive and supportive environment for young athletes. They support the national campaign “Let Kids Be Kids,” which aims to address poor sideline behaviour, particularly in junior sport. The club recognises that the behaviour of people on the sidelines can greatly impact a child's participation and enjoyment of the sport. By promoting respectful and encouraging behaviour, Belwest aims to enhance the overall experience for young players.
With its strong connexions to the Belconnen community, Belwest Foxes Soccer Club expresses gratitude to its sponsors, particularly the Canberra Labour Club Group. Their generous donations have helped lower registration fees, support player equipment, fund trophies, subsidise development programmes, disability leagues, and community initiatives. Belwest Foxes Soccer Club is proud to be a part of the Belconnen community and the larger Belwest family.
