These are unprecedented times for the whole world as it deals with the coronavirus outbreak and the Maccabi Tel Aviv Youth Academy is no different, as it ensures that players are able to keep fit and healthy in accordance with a plan prepared by the coaching staff. Performance Director Patrick Van Leeuwen has sent the following special message:

“Hi to all players, parents and coaches,
We haven’t had the chance to enjoy any games during the past few weeks and to see you around the grounds at Kiryat Shalom or at away matches. Let’s hope that the situation will improve and that we will be able to meet each other again very soon.

I see more and more players are active and are continuing to exercise in fields, on their balcony or in their gardens, and I note that many parents are turning into personal trainers or video specialists.

I just want to encourage you all to keep it up and enjoy the moments you can spend both on football and with your family. For now, please all stay safe and stay at home. I hope to see everybody fit and healthy when we start to play football again”.
