Update on Coaches and Tryouts

Jason Hirsh, our coach at the recent Pan Am Maccabi games has declined the opportunity to coach us for the 19th Maccabiah citing his busy schedule as the deciding factor. We are now speaking with a very good candidate for our Head Coach position and hope to finalize his appointment later this week. 
We continue to accept applications for athletes and we ask anyone that wishes to tryout, both new and alumni players to submit their application at maccabiusa.com. Based on feedback received from many of you regarding your July/August availability, we have decided to schedule the first tryout camp in New Jersey in September (7-9 or 21-23) or October (12-14, 19-21 or 26-28) and the final tryout either in LA or Phoenix in November (2-4, 9-11, 16-18, 30-Dec 2) or December (14-16) TBD. Please email either Jeff or Dan if you have concerns with any of these dates and we will try to select the weekends that work best for the majority. Prepare yourselves properly as our tryouts will be very competitive!!
