Award Categories
The Wisconsin Soccer Hall of Fame (WSHOF) is comprised of five categories under which candidates may be inducted: Player, Coach, Referee, Administrator, and Overall. All candidates must have a tie to Wisconsin and have gained prominence in Wisconsin soccer, and/or in a regional, national, collegiate or professional capacity.

In all categories, the three major considerations for induction include (in no particular order) success, longevity and the ethical betterment of the game.

Player: Players must have a tie to Wisconsin and have gained prominence in Wisconsin soccer and/or in a regional, national, collegiate or professional capacity.  Active players will not be considered (note: participation in old timers or other recreational play does not constitute active play).

Coach: Coaches are evaluated on the ethical development of players and the success of those teams, clubs and players in achieving on-field success, and/or the long-term stability/longevity of a program (club, college or high school).  Coaches who are still active may be considered.

Referee: Referees must have a significant service record on a state, regional and/or national level, or have devoted significant time to refereeing.  Referees who are still active may be considered.

Administrator: Individuals with significant and/or long-term contributions in an administrative capacity are considered for this category.  Candidates with Wisconsin ties, but whose administrative role was outside of Wisconsin may be considered. Administrators who are still active may be considered.

Overall: This category recognizes individuals who have contributed to Wisconsin soccer in roles not outlined in the above categories, or candidates who contributed in multiple categories.  Contributions may include a wide variety of soccer functions.
