Hall of Fame
HALL OF FAME
The United Soccer Coaches Hall of Fame was established in 1991 to honor achievement in coaching, with emphasis on success in the game while also considering work on behalf of the association and/or lifetime contributions to the game of soccer. Each year up to three members (past or present) may be selected to the United Soccer Coaches Hall of Fame. Selections are made through balloting of the Hall of Fame Committee. The presentations are made annually at the Awards Banquet at the United Soccer Coaches Convention.
