The Fond du Lac Youth Soccer Association has established four categories under which members may be inducted in the Fond du Lac Youth Soccer Hall of Fame.

The categories are:

• Players
• Coaches
• Administrators
• Volunteers

NOTE: While persons may not qualify in any one category, their efforts in a combination of two or more categories may make them a viable candidate.

Qualifications for each category and general rules to determine eligibility are as follows:

Fond du Lac Soccer Association Players: To be considered, players must have at least gained  prominence in FDLSA competition. The player most likely to be selected is apt to have experience post high school, college, or national team pool. Prominent players who went on to serve as referees, coaches, and /or administrators may perceive priority consideration. Active players will not be considered. (Note: participation in “Old Timers” or other non­ FDLSA recreational play does not constitute “Active Play”.) *eligible after age 25

FDLSA Coaches: Consideration for induction may be given to coaches who have for a considerable time, functioned as a FDLSA Coach. Candidates most likely to be selected are apt to have served on multiple teams and promoted higher level play. High school and/or college coaches may receive consideration provided that their services have been extended to benefit the Fond du Lac Soccer Association. Coaches who become FDLSA referees, Regional or State administrators may receive priority considerations, provided the above conditions are met. Coaches who are still active may be considered.

The length of service in these positions must be 7 to 10 years. Club administrators, who meet none of the other qualifications stated in these guidelines, should NOT be considered viable candidates.
