ACCESS GAMES AGES 12-22

 

In 2024, the Team Virginia Beach delegation for the JCC Maccabi Games and Access Games has the opportunity to send athletes to Houston, Texas this summer. 

 

Jewish teenagers from the local Virginia Beach community, serving as representatives for Team Virginia Beach at the JCC Maccabi Games, have the opportunity to connect with fellow Jewish teens globally during this yearly Olympic-style sports festival.

 

The event not only enhances their Jewish identity but also fosters increased interaction within their community.

 

The Access Games cater to individuals aged 12-22 facing developmental challenges, offering specialized sports, programming, and competitions tailored to the needs of Access athletes.
