Junior & Open athlete fees: $9,750*
The total participation fee is approximately $15,500. Thanks to the generosity of our Maccabi Canada donors, we are able to reduce the participation fees by 40% for our Junior and Open athletes.
The Junior athletes will participate in Maccabi Canada’s Azrieli Israel Experience. This is a 6 day program that takes part prior to the opening of the games. Thanks to the support of The Azrieli Foundation we are able to offer the Juniors this experience at no additional cost to the athletes.
The Junior athletes pricing is pending an approval process. Junior age athletes may be eligible for a $3,000USD grant from RootOne. The $9750 is inclusive of the RootOne grant amount. More details will be provided to selected athletes.
All Juniors and Open athletes are required to fly and stay with the delegation booked flights and assigned accommodation in Israel. Only Masters’ athletes can choose to opt out of the flight or the accommodation or both. Maccabi Canada will be sending Masters athletes an email for you to select your preference.
Note: all participants can deviate from their return flight, subject to airline availability, for a fee.
Any deductions and/or additions will be applied to the final payment.
Parents or family of junior athletes cannot visit their children at the accommodation centre, nor can they sign them out for family trips or visits. Parents are encouraged to come and cheer on their children at the competition venues. Junior athletes are the responsibility of Maccabi Canada’s staff from July 2, 2025 - July 22, 2025*.
All athletes, parents and guardians must be familiar with and adhere to Maccabi Canada’s policies and Code of Conduct. There are no exceptions.
