The Zabans -Fouad and Zaynab are a conservative Muslim couple with four children: Jamilah, Ayah, Mohamed and Fatima. Football is a great source of pride in the Dearborn community and as the head coach of the local high school football team, Coach Zaban works hard to combine football practices during Ramadan with the Muslim faith for both himself and his players. A compromise that can be hard on his family. The two oldest Zaban daughters, age 10 and 11, wear the hijab to school, following the example set by their mother, who works as a part-time secretary.
