Individual athletes must have graduated from Avon High at least 10 years ago to qualify for nomination.

Athletic teams will be considered 10 years after the respective winning season for which they are being nominated, and coaches will be considered if they have coached at Avon High for at least five years.

Nominations of men and women who are program "contributors" (e.g. athletic directors, community leaders, and volunteers) are also welcome and will be evaluated based upon their service to and accomplishments within the athletic programs at Avon High School.

All nominations will be thoughtfully reviewed by the Avon Falcons Hall of Fame selection committee, comprised of Lisa Abate, Al D’Adario, Tim Filon, John McLaughlin, Don Papio, Susan Rietano Davey (committee chair), Jon Yolles, Dave Zlatin, and Terri Ziemnicki.

Nominees not chosen for induction this year will remain in consideration for future classes.
