Approved training for coaches through the respective sports organisation or through Victorian Institute of Sport. Other options for use of funds include:

• Coaching clinics, short term training camps.
• Bringing in short term, specialist coaching support for clubs.
• Coaches to attend seminars, conferences, or workshops.

Your donation to the Capital Fund will help support a co-ordinated coaching development program that will deliver tangible benefits to Maccabi Clubs and their members, as well as Jewish athletes in the wider community.

Since the 1920s, Carnivals have been the landmark event for Jewish athletes throughout Australia.

Junior Carnival brings together young people, from across Australia and New Zealand, in an atmosphere of sporting competition, social interaction, fun & leisure.

For some participants, it is their first introduction to a wider Jewish community, generating new friendships and pride in their Jewish identity.

Maccabi Victoria aims to give every eligible child the opportunity to participate in Junior Carnival.

We are grateful for the generous support of The George Castan Family Charitable Trust in supporting this Program.

Your donation will support young Jewish athletes to attend Carnival and share in a memorable experience.

This Fund, which has brought together various previous funding streams (including the Club Development Program), is primarily available each year a) as a result of direct support from donors; and b) as a result of the Annual Appeal, and creates a fund of approximately $15-20,000 for clubs per annum. These monies are available for:

• support for persons with a disability;
• emerging elite athletes;
• sporting equipment;
• fee subsidies for club affiliation fees;
• funds for special events and general sports development, as per the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF) guidelines.

Your donation to this Capital Fund will help support a significant support for athletes and clubs that will deliver tangible benefits to Maccabi Clubs and their members, as well as Jewish athletes in the wider community.

The Maccabi Victoria Board and Foundation are working with local council, schools and community organisations to identify and secure appropriate facilities for all our clubs. Facilities are urgently needed for AFL, football (soccer), hockey, and other sports, as well as a social facility for all clubs to utilise for meetings and social events.

The Leon Haskin Tennis Centre

Maccabi Victoria Sports Foundation oversaw the fundraising, planning and construction of the Leon Haskin Tennis Centre which opened in February 2008. This state-of-the-art home for the Maccabi Tennis Club features eight Plexicushion courts, a Pavilion and Club Room, providing a fantastic venue which will be a magnet for Jewish tennis players, and will serve the wider Maccabi community and the local community for many years.

The Leon Haskin Tennis Centre still offers several opportunities for support including sponsorship of tennis courts and memorabilia.

Maccabi Victoria is not just a sporting organisation.

Involvement in a Maccabi club raises awareness of one’s Jewish identity and our cultural tradition. Involvement in sport also creates social connections and teaches a sense of achievement so vital for people, young and old. Clubs also transmit positive values and codes of conduct and are a unique place for young people to learn important life skills such as working cooperatively as a team member, achieving common goals and performing under pressure – all skills they have to master as adults.

Please support Maccabi Victoria with a donation to enable more children and adults to stay linked to their heritage and learn life skills.

“There is a unique Jewish Culture in Maccabi that you don’t experience in any other club. You’re playing with lifelong friends and your best mates, who add another dimension to your sport.”
Jonathan Weinstock, Cricket Club.

Contribute to an organisation that has played a part in bringing our community together, keeping it healthy and influencing its future for over 80 years. Help ensure Maccabi continues to motivate and inspire children and is able to support some through family financial difficulties. Everyone should have the same opportunity to connect with our community, build friendships, and achieve excellence in sport.

Membership fees don’t cover all the costs of delivering high quality sporting activity to our young people.

By giving your support to Maccabi Victoria, you are playing a vital role in changing lives in our community. Your donation will work hard to keep our community healthy and active and bring together young and old, to mix, make friends and strengthen our community.

Funds raised support development of high quality facilities and healthy lifestyle programs as well as supporting club costs in specialist equipment, uniform support, coaching clinics, championships and disadvantaged access programs.
