This week on Your New Jersey, Lisa Marie Falbo explores how major sporting events and local leaders are helping shape the future of athletics in the Garden State as the FIFA World Cup excitement builds during matches at the Meadowlands. Evan Dabby, CEO of the New Jersey Youth Soccer, and Zack Dabby, founder of Every Kick Counts, discuss the World Cup’s impact on youth soccer, inclusion, and community engagement while sharing how their father-son partnership is helping create opportunities for children with special needs through the game.
Then, Greg Fargo, Head Coach of the New York Sirens, reflects on the continued growth of women’s hockey and the strong sports culture taking root in New Jersey. He discusses building the Sirens franchise, developing young athletes through grassroots hockey, and why the future of the sport in the Garden State has never looked brighter.
