Inductees are chosen from nomination forms that are distributed throughout the county. Each nomination will remain active indefinitely. Eligible candidates must be selected from the following:
- Athletes must have completed competition at least five years prior to the election.
- Devoted persons who have sacrificed so much time and effort to maintain sports on such a high level of excellence can still be active.
- Nominees must have significant ties to Davidson County.
In September 2002, The Davidson County Sports Hall of Fame Committee introduced its first class of inductees. It was an exciting event held at Sapona Country Club. Below is a listing of each of the seventeen years’ Inductees. You may click on the name of any of that year’s honored Inductees to learn more about them.
We invite you to submit your nomination for one of this year’s Hall of Fame Inductees by clicking on the Inductee Nomination Form link below and completing the Nomination Form.
