History
ZogSports founder Robert Herzog witnessed his office on the 96th floor of World Trade 1 being struck by a plane on September 11, 2001. The tragedy forced Herzog to reevaluate his life and draw from the positives. He thoroughly enjoyed playing in sports leagues and had even met his wife playing softball. In September 2002, Herzog launched ZogSports as a 32-team weekend football league. The company has expanded to include leagues for 13 sports. Since 2002 ZogSports has donated over $1,000,000 to various charities. ZogSports has also expanded to the Northern New Jersey area with a dodgeball league that launched in January 2006.
