The Maccabi Tel Aviv “Avi Cohen” Youth Academy’s next representative, the Under-15 side, Maccabi “Eldad” Tel Aviv under the direction of Head Coach Ori David and his assistant Eliran Mizrahi began training for the upcoming 2018/19 season.

David commented about the opening of a new campaign: “I feel great. This is my 11th season at the Club and I’m a lucky person to be part of this Academy for so many years. It’s great to see that the demands of Performance Director Patrick van Leeuwen and his assistant Raymond Atteveld continue to increase as each season begins. Last campaign was very successful and we will continue to strive to be at the same level of the European academies. On a personal level I’m happy to be back with the Under-15 squad which is now made up of boys born in 2004 and I’m thrilled to be a part of this wonderful Academy where I can help and contribute to the development of the youth.”
