The 2015/16 season has started and so has the Maccabi Tel Aviv Youth Division as the clubs have begun preparing for the coming year. The various Youth Division clubs began workouts this past month under new coaches and staff along with a number of players that have advanced and moved up through the youth system.
Maccabi "Shachar" Tel Aviv, Under-19 and Maccabi "Oded" Tel Aviv, Under-17 played preseason matches today against the Ashdod youth teams. The Under-19 team under the direction of coach Ziv Arie played in Ashdod as the hosts won 1:0. This was the first preseason match for Maccabi "Shachar" and they will pick up the pace with a number of matches over the next few weeks. Rounding out Arie's staff are assistants Gili Landau and Dan Roman, a former player who joined the youth system this year.
