Maccabiah Games 2005
Carly in Training
Well done Carly. Carly has just heard that she is on the team representing Great Britain in netball at next year's Macabiah Youth Games in Israel.
Good luck, enjoy the training, making new friends on the team and travelling to new places. What an exciting year! We are all very proud of you.
The Maccabiah Games, sometimes referred to as the "Jewish Olympics", were first held in 1932, in the midst of a worldwide depression. 390 athletes and 14 nations competed, figures similar to the participation in the very first Olympic Games 36 years before.
The Games are now the 3rd largest sporting event in the world and take place every 4 years in Israel. The next Maccabiah will be held July 10-21, 2005.
Great Britain will be sending a large delegation to the Games, Carly Harris being one of them.
