All local coaches are expected to serve as adult role models and provide ongoing supervision of their athletes during all Games-related activities that occur throughout the week. Coaches may have to handle situations such as injured or sick athletes, lost credentials or merchandise, inappropriate athlete and/or parent behavior, etc. Coaches must be willing to take the week off from work and should consider themselves as coaches/chaperones for the entire week. Coaches should also be fully aware and understand the official JCC Maccabi Games sports rules for their specific sports, as well as the concept of Rachmanus which is a central theme of the event.
