Shalom, JCC Maccabi Games fans! The JCC Maccabi Games is an amazing event where thousands of Jewish teens  meet,  compete and have a great time.

The Continental Delegation has arrived!

What is the Continental Delegation?   The Continental Delegation is made up of Jewish teens aging from 13-16yrs old who do not have a JCC near them and would like to experience the JCC Maccabi Games.  In addition, JCCs that are affiliated with JCC Association that have not been to the JCC Maccabi Games are permitted to send athletes via the Continental Delegation too. Teens from various locations in the United States and Canada will participate in the JCC Maccabi Games through JCC Association.  We will communicate with the participants via conference calls and e-mails.  Our delegation, just like others, will have its own T-shirt, uniforms, pins, and gear.  JCC Association delegation athletes will be part of an e-mail Listserv with other athletes from around the country.
