Welcome To Bellport Football !
Bellport Varsity Football is quite simply one of the top high school football programs in our nation. Tom Howard, former coach and now Athletic Director at Farmingdale High School, stated, "Bellport Football is the measuring stick for Long Island Football!" The "Junk Yard Dogs" are known for their aggressive play and punishing hitting. The offense is multiple and the defense features an odd and even front. The Clippers have won numerous championships including League, Section, County, Long Island and New York State titles. Bellport Football has been ranked nationally 3 times. Feature stories about Bellport Football teams and players have been in USA Today, NY Times, NY Post, Sports Illustrated, Newsday, Street & Smith, College Football Today, Sporting News, Daily News, The Long Island Advance, The Record and many other magazines and papers including college publications. Bellport Football has been on TV (Ch 6, Ch 7, Ch 12, ESPN, LISN, etc.) many times.
