The Club was founded in 1965 as St Bernards Football Club, in which it competed in the Geelong and District Football League until 1973. The Club first changed its name in 1974 to East Belmont Football Club, which stayed this way for 23 years.
The club changed its name again in 1998 to become the Belmont Lions Sports Club. At the turn of the century in 2000 the Geelong and District Football League decided to add Netball to the league which was embraced by our club and also the whole league in general. Our home ground has always been called Winter Reserve which is located in Glyn Street Belmont. Our Ground dimensions are: Length-146 meters & width-130 meters. We all so have a bottom ground with similar size to our main ground with state of the art light towers covering both grounds for winter training sessions. We have a fantastic Netball court which includes lights for training/ night matches also.
