Maccabi Tel Aviv players visited a local primary school on their Physical Fitness Awareness Day
As part of "Move It", a co-operative project of two governmental ministries (Education and Culture/Sport) and the Israeli Football Association that recruits Israeli athletes to encourage physical exercise among Israel's children, Maccabi Tel Aviv players Sheran Yeini, Omer Vered and Reef Peretz yesterday visited the "Maymon" primary school on their special day devoted to making the children aware of the importance of physical activity.
The players started their visit by explaining to the children how crucial it was to participate in sports activities. The children also heard from them about the importance of continued physical activity in reaching the highest levels in sports. Afterwards the children had the opportunity to pose questions to the Maccabi stars and even join them in a game where the children were divided into two sides, with Omer Vered and Reef Peretz joining one side each and Sheran Yeini acting as referee. And of course there was also ample time for autographs and photo-ops so that each child was able to enjoy the attention of their favourite Maccabi Tel Aviv stars.
