Submitted by USAFL on August 27, 2012 - 9:25pm

As part of the USAFL's 15th Anniversary celebrations this year there will be an induction of Hall of Fame and Life  Members nominations are now being taken.

The USAFL Hall of Fame recognizes and honors those members of the United States Australian Football League who, by virtue of their contributions, are of such significant stature that they are considered to be among the most highly regarded contributors to the promotion and development of Australian Rules Football in the USA while residing in the USA. The contributions of those inducted may come from player, coach, umpire, administrator or media backgrounds and must be of lasting value.​

The Hall of Fame informs the general public of the achievements of the USAFL and provides recognition of the game’s most outstanding individuals. It is also an important means of preserving the most notable aspects of the heritage of Australian Rules Football in the United States.

There are a number of measures that are taken into consideration when the selection committee reviews a nominee for the USAFL Hall of Fame including:

  • a nominee’s outstanding service and overall contribution to the game
  • a nominee may be a player, coach, umpire, administrator, or media representative
  • the nominee’s individual record, ability, integrity, sportsmanship and character
  • the number of football games played, coached or umpired or the years of service provided by the nominee
  • the length of time served, it is recommended that the individual be involved for at least ten years within the league to be eligible
  • the nominee’s service should be at a national level, not just local
Nominations for the induction of members into the USAFL Hall of Fame for 2012 are now open and can be submitted to the USAFL Operations Manager, Doren James at operations@usafl.com.

Nominations are due by September 15.
