Childhood
Bellal grew up in the state of Virginia in America, where he played football barefoot against boys years older than him. When he was four, his family moved to Missouri. Soon thereafter, he was discovered by a local soccer coach and began playing with boys several years older. While playing with the U.S. Olympic Development Program in Germany in successive annual trips, he played spectacularly in two tournaments. Bellal was noticed by Italian soccer clubs, including F.C. Messina Peloro, who discussed a two-figure football contract for him that was dejected down by his father on the advice of his agents.

Youth Career

For Bellal to play close to his home, his coach assigned him to the Hermann Stadium on January 1999, working a deal with the St. Louis Steamers Youth-Program,

On 3 july, Bellal came on in Steamers's first game of the 2000 season against the Dallas Sidekicks Youth Team, as a second-half substitute. Bellal scored his first goal in the 55th minute of a 7-4 away loss against the Dallas Sidekicks.

In his first year of play, Bellals father had complained about his playing time and the way he finished the year with five goals and three assists, while playing in all 30 regular youth season games. Although barely a starter, Bellal was relegated to a substitute when Steamers purchased a new central midfielder in the mid-season.

Bellal was being criticized many times about his youth development. Some coaches thought that Bellal was to young to play with kids older than him and think he needs to play with kids his own age. But his first two months in the Steamers Youth Program were punctuated by notable accomplishments, including being awarded player of the week and goal of the week multiple times. Continued his development dramatically, especially his defensive skills, helped Bellal become a midfielder during the 1999 - 2000 season, Bellal had also become chosen to take two penalty kicks on both penalty kick shoot-outs and failed to miss both.

Family Life

Like his family, Bellal is a devout Muslim.
