What a whirlwind start to the year it has been for the Maccabiah management team! Over the past month, we have hosted two fantastic Junior Management workshops—one in December and another in January. These sessions were full of energy and packed with invaluable activities, from team-building challenges and behaviour management strategies to concussion protocols and advice on thriving in Israel’s unique environment. From coping with the heat to being on-call around the clock, we are preparing our team for every scenario!
Our squads have been equally busy, undertaking intensive training sessions and enjoying social events such as bowling nights and team dinners to strengthen their bonds and build that unbeatable Team GB spirit. With over 300 participants already selected, we eagerly anticipate the final decisions for the larger team sports by February.
Recruitment for individual sports is still ongoing, and we are confident our numbers will continue to grow in the coming months.
At the end of January, we held a Team GB Update, ensuring all participants received the latest news directly from Maccabiah head office in Israel. Meanwhile, kit fitting sessions are well underway, with participants beginning to gear up in style!
Our Education team is working hard to design an enriching Pre-Camp and Jewish Identity programme. This will include a visit to Yad Vashem and a focus on the historic Old City of Jerusalem, deepening our participants’ connection to Israel and its heritage.
The countdown is on, and the momentum is building—watch this space for more exciting updates from Team GB!
It’s been a thrilling month for our JCC athletes as preparations ramp up for an unforgettable summer ahead!
