S1E4 - Increasing Access to Sports with Gabe Albornoz

November 24, 2020 • Maryland SoccerPlex. Matt Libber and Kim Walter • Season 1 • Episode 4

In this episode we are joined by Montgomery County Councilmember Gabe Albornoz. Gabe discusses the importance of youth sports as a whole and how we can reach out to underserved communities with youth sports. Gabe discusses specific legislation that has been implemented here in Montgomery County, Maryland, the Youth Sports Initiative, that is aimed to provide team sport activities to places within the county that have historically been “sports deserts.” We also discuss the importance of understanding the communities and culture within an area and how it can affect participation and access to sports.
