In 1992, Hudson Valley Youth Soccer League established a Hall of Fame to honor those players, coaches, administrator, referees, and volunteers whose contributions have contributed to making our league the great success it has become.
Inductees have been kept to a small and very deserving group. Our criteria are simple: every nominee must have made a lasting and significant contribution, through their association with HVYSL, to the game of soccer in the Hudson Valley. They must personally exemplify the best traditions of good sportsmanship and have conducted themselves at all times in a manner that reflects credit on our organization.
We remain very committed to recognizing those among us who have also earned this honor and therefore ask that you carefully consider nominating any person whom you believe fits the criteria. Written nominations for the Hall of Fame are requested, with a short explanation of the candidate’s credentials, not later than August 30. They should be emailed to the HVYSL office.
Inductees will be honored at a dinner in October. Thank you for your careful consideration of this important recognition!
