Maccabi Dan Maccabi Dan is a professional, non-profit sports club in the fields of gymnastics and acrobatics founded in 1998 in Tel Aviv.

Over 1,000 children and youth aged 5-20 exercise weekly in 14 sports centers in the greater Tel Aviv area, and about 100 of them form the Elite Team. Members of the Elite Team participate several times a year at international performances and competitions in the fields of acrobatics and general gymnastics. The organization counts over 30 professional trainers. The philosophy of Maccabi Dan is to convey to the young gymnasts the ethics of sport, fair play, team work, discipline and over all a healthy relationship with the body in a crucial time in the life of the youth.

Highly professional directors, including the Chief Trainer Dr. Ilana Katz, have managed the organization with dedication and creativity since its founding. Since 2002, the athletes of Maccabi Dan won medals in numerous competitions, including the Israeli championships, bringing the Israeli delegation abroad to be one of the most respected and appreciated. The young acrobats are regularly invited to perform at international gymnaestradas and in Tel Aviv during the central Municipal celebration of Independence Day, and in many other events throughout the country.
