CV Sports Hall of Fame to Induct Two Teams
The Castro Valley Sports Hall of Fame, for the first time, will induct two teams at its next induction ceremony, set for Sunday, April 21, 2024, at Redwood Canyon Golf Course.
Previously, the Hall of Fame has inducted only individuals – athletes, coaches, trainers, officials and sports media types – who have lived in Castro Valley or have made a significant impact on Castro Valley athletics.
This year the Hall of Fame selection committee, which is appointed by the Castro Valley Sports Foundation, decided to add both a men’s (or boys’) team and a women’s (or girls’) team.
The committee encourages nominations from the public. To nominate either a team or an individual, simply go to the CV Sports Foundation’s website: castrovalleysportsfoundation.org/hall-of-fame and complete the nomination form. Nominations will be accepted through July 31, 2023.
Athletes become eligible for the Hall of Fame five years after graduating from high school. There is no waiting period for coaches or officials.
Thus far, there have been 96 men and women inducted into the Hall of Fame, 16 in each of the first six classes. A new class is inducted every two years.
Plaques commemorating the six Sports Hall of Fame classes are on permanent display at Knudsen’s Ice Creamery on Castro Valley Blvd.
