MACCABI WA EXISTS TO PROMOTE JEWISH IDENTITY AND CONTINUITY-

Connecting our Jewish and local communities through sport and wellbeing.

Maccabi Australia is the largest Jewish grass-roots organisation in Australia, boasting a 90-year heritage, 35,000 supporters and more than 6,000 members ranging in age from 5 to 85 years across over 50 clubs. Every week participating in a Maccabi team provides an opportunity for Jewish children to connect and form lifelong friendships. Our event calendar includes an annual Junior Sports Carnival, participation in the Maccabiah Games in Israel, interstate sport challenges and Maccabi regional events.

OUR VALUES

By joining Maccabi you will have many fun-filled opportunities to play sport locally, throughout Australia, and perhaps, even in other places throughout the world! You will also meet new friends and learn what it means to be part of a team. As Maccabi is a Jewish organisation, there are certain timeless values that we believe are essential to your participation as a Maccabi team member. We encourage both parents and children to read the following list of values. Our hope is that they become an important reference point whenever you are involved with Maccabi sport. 

Respect
This value incorporates respect for oneself, one's body, for others, for the rules and regulations, for sport, and the environment. Related to sport, respect stands for fair play, to win with humility, and for the fight against discrimination and any other unethical behaviour. Treat others as you wish to be treated.

Teamwork
We recognise that success and excellence can only be achieved and sustained by a deep commitment to working as a team and the practice of focusing on collective rather than individual effort and rewards. Compete with Passion and have fun

Community
We act consciously to inspire the trust of everyone whose lives we touch by modeling the highest standards of honesty and integrity. We carry our Jewishness with pride and behave in ways that make the Jewish community proud. 

Volunteerism
We remain accountable to our members and value the work of the volunteers who define our organisation; We will promote open and transparent management processes and always engage in authentic consultation with our stakeholders.

The Maccabi organisation in Western Australia has been in existence for over eighty-five years fostering the sporting ambitions of the Perth Jewish community. Through that time it has grown into a strong and vibrant body that has achieved significant milestones both on the sporting fields and in its investment in the Maccabi Grounds.

In the last sixty years development of the Grounds has fostered the Maurice Zeffert Home, Carmel School, and the Jewish Centre. In addition, there has been a renewal of capital items such as the four all weather tennis courts, the Carmel School/Maccabi Gymnasium including the Gordon Bloomfield Hall, the car park, and new change rooms
