Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall Of Fame seeking nominees for Class of 2025

HUNTSVILLE — The Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall of Fame, which has honored nearly 400 coaches, athletes and contributors throughout its history, is seeking nominees from the public for its Class of 2025, which will be honored at a banquet next April.

Friends and relatives are encouraged to nominate worthy candidates via any of a number of ways. 

  • Via the Hall of Fame website. http://hmcahof.com/
  • By mail, to PO Box 566, Huntsville, AL 35804
  • By contacting any Hall of Fame Board member.

Nominators are asked to provide information to support the candidate; i.e., statistics, links, clippings.

To be eligible for the Hall of Fame, candidates must:

  • Be a current or former resident of Huntsville or Madison County for ten continuous years, not counting residency on a military base or college campus
  • A nominee who performed their athletic achievement prior to moving to Huntsville or Madison County must be a resident for ten continuous years
  • A nominee must be at least 40 years of age at time of induction
  • An unretired coach or administrator must have a minimum of 25 years of service in athletics to be eligible 
  • A nominee’s athletic achievements will be of prime importance, but their post-athletic lives as citizens and community contributors will be considered

The deadline for the nominations is Sept. 30. The date for the Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall of Fame banquet, presented by TOC, will be announced in early fall. 

Twenty sports are represented in the Hall of Fame, as well as inductees from officiating, media, education and administration. The members include those with Huntsville connections who have excelled at the local, state, national and international levels.
