Belle Clair Soccer History The Belle-Clair Soccer League (BCSL) has been in existence since 1967 and produces a very active youth soccer program. Our program serves approximately 1,700 boys and girls ages 5 to 18 on over 130 teams in the St. Clair County area each year. The league is run by hundreds of volunteers and a small staff dedicated to providing the best soccer experience.
Mission The mission of the league is to provide a venue for children to exercise, learn the game of soccer, and to help them build a friendly competitive spirit. We provide all of our players with a positive soccer influence through environment, guidance, and training allowing them to grow and develop individually in a team setting to their full potential.
Our objectives • • •
