Staff & Coaches

Coaching Staff

Our young athletes benefit from training with head and assistant coaches who are experts in their field. Our coaching staff is adept at relating to athletes, regardless of their skill level, at motivating them to give their best effort, and then recognizing those efforts. Our entire staff believes in the importance of providing positive reinforcement and creating a fun environment, encouraging players to try new things, challenge themselves, and learn from mistakes. Skill advancement and an increase in self-confidence are a natural outcome.

The coaches at Maccabi Sports Camp fall into two categories: Head Coaches that are charged with leading each core sport, and Assistant Coaches, those that serve in a dual capacity of camp counselor and jump into a supportive coaching role during core sports.

Core sports training and activities are led by our highly experienced head coaches. Each of our head coaches has coached their sport for many years at the high school or collegiate level.

Many of our assistant coaches are still in the prime of their sporting careers, playing at the collegiate or club level. They have extensive involvement playing competitively and working with children in a structured environment. Our assistant coaches also serve as camp counselors, responsible for campers’ safety and wellbeing and spending time together at meals, cabin times, and during other daily activities outside of the core sports.

All of our coaches are adept at building individual relationships with athletes that help yield the best in their play on the field and their growth in practice.

Our top-notch coaches are an integral part of the camp community, here to:

• Create a supportive camp environment
• Help athletes achieve personal goals to advance their game
• Offer guidance on becoming better teammates
• Motivate every athlete to reach their full potential
• Infuse life lessons and values into sports experiences that may be utilized off the field
