ACCESS GAMES AGES 13-23

 

The JCC Maccabi Games® and Access is the largest Jewish youth event in the world.

 

 

This summer, thousands of Jewish teens (ages 13-17) from around the world will gather for the ultimate combination of sports, fun, and Jewish pride — JCC Maccabi Games, the largest Jewish teen sports event on the planet!

 

Think Olympic-style competitions, opening and closing ceremonies, epic social events, hands-on community service, and unforgettable memories — all while connecting with Jewish teens from across the globe.

 

More than Sports. More than Summer.

JCC Maccabi is a one-of-a-kind experience that strengthens Jewish identity, builds lifelong friendships, and celebrates community. Teens don’t just compete, they live and learn Jewish values like teamwork, respect, and tikkun olam (repairing the world).

 

Access for all.

The Access Games cater to individuals aged 13-23 facing developmental challenges, offering specialized sports, programming, and competitions tailored to the needs of Access athletes.

 

Why Sign Up? 

✔️ Once-in-a-lifetime event
✔️ Meet Jewish teens from everywhere
✔️ Sports, social fun, & cultural pride
✔️ Build confidence, leadership, and Jewish connection

 

Whether your teen is an athlete or just loves being part of something big, they’ll come home inspired, energized, and proud of who they are.
