Is there a Leader amongst us? We want You!
Every now and then, we come across a young person that stops us in our tracks; they’re motivated, positive, mature and sociable. In fact, we get a sense that they will go on to achieve greatness…
We are on a talent search for great Team Leaders in Maccabi both on and beyond the field . Help us to uncover who these young men and women are.

Develop their Leading Edge:
It’s time to awaken and nurture our young members’ leadership potential toward high-performance and self-actualisation leadership within themselves, with their teams and within our organisation. 

Selected Team Leaders will learn the tools, skills and communication to unleash their scope for influence and leadership transformation within our clubs and inevitably achieve significantly different performance and results.

We are excited to announce the following two new and innovative Leadership programs:
Player Leadership Program – Leadership on the Field
Future Leadership Program – Leadership beyond the Field

Watch this space as these programs unfold in 2018!
Thank you
Thank you to all the Maccabi community who generously dropped off preloved sporting clothes and equipment to the Maccabi Office as part of 2017 Mitzvah Day, it is always appreciated.
