New Jersey Youth Soccer has launched an NJYS Legends Video Series, where New Jersey ODP Technical Director James Galanis hosts online conversations with current and former professional players from the State of New Jersey. The conversations feature various topics that are relative to each guest, from sharing their best at-home training methods to reflecting back upon playing in New Jersey ODP and other NJYS programming.
