Calling all Jewish youth athletes; we are headed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania next summer! It is time to get ready for the 2025 JCC Maccabi Games® – and we want you on the Jacksonville JCA team!
Last summer, we ventured to Texas with thirty young Jewish athletes who came home to Jacksonville with an experience they will never forget. More than 3,000 Jewish teenagers from around the world participate in the infamously Olympic-style JCC Maccabi Games and we are excited to be part of the comradery again.
From opening and closing ceremonies to social events and opportunities to make friends for a lifetime, the JCC Maccabi Games sports include basketball, baseball, dance, ice hockey, soccer, softball, swimming, table tennis, tennis, track, and volleyball! Even if your children are not interested in playing a sport, they can be a “Star Reporter” at the games where they give play-by-play action of all the events. To be eligible, all athletes must be Jewish and between the ages of 13 and 17 during the games.
Mark your calendars, the games at the JCC of Greater Pittsburgh are slated for Aug 3-8, 2025.

There will be informational sessions about the next games in the coming months.
