Little Kickers

Here at Little Kickers we believe in something we call ‘Play not Push’. It means teaching football in a fun, pressure-free environment.

We want to give children a positive introduction to sport as a whole, not just football, so they’re more likely to stay healthy and active throughout their lives.

We believe football can be educational. Coached in the right way it can stimulate imagination and aid early development skills such as learning colours and numbers, following instructions and playing as a team. Book your taster class at Maccabi now!

Kidz Haven

Our vision is to enhance the lives of children with physical, learning, and developmental disabilities, and their families, within the Manchester Jewish community. We host our after-school club on Mondays and Wednesdays at Maccabi which provides a much needed opportunity for children to relax, play and thrive whilst their families receive respite. Our specialised programme ensures that every child receives an abundance of love, care and focus whilst they enjoy sensory play, animal therapy, baking, crafts, eating supper and much more.

Walking football

Join us every Tuesday at 11am for Walking Football at Manchester Maccabi! Open to all ages and abilities, our sessions offer a fun, relaxed way to stay active, meet new people and enjoy the beautiful game.

Played on our all-weather pitches, walking football is non-contact, with no running allowed. Sessions last around an hour, with refreshments and a chance to socialise afterwards.

Your first session is FREE! Everyone is welcome, so come along, give it a try and enjoy football at your own pace.

Here at Manchester Maccabi, participants work towards their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award through a range of activities, including volunteering, learning new skills, physical challenges and taking part in adventurous expeditions.

Our expedition programme encourages teamwork, resilience, independence and confidence, as young people navigate new environments, overcome challenges and support one another along the way.

Maccabi’s Dancing Strictly show

For over 10 years, Maccabi Sports Centre has brought the excitement, glamour and energy of the ballroom to the local community with our annual Dancing Strictly competition. Inspired by the format of Strictly Come Dancing, local community participants are paired with professional dancers and challenged to learn and perform a dance live on stage in front of an audience. Each participant chooses a charity to support and raises vital funds through sponsorship, turning their performance into a meaningful fundraising challenge.

With incredible performances, professional dancers, enthusiastic supporters and plenty of sparkle, Dancing Strictly has become a much-loved annual event — bringing the community together for a fantastic night of entertainment while raising money for great causes.

Holiday clubs

At Manchester Maccabi, we host a variety of fun and engaging holiday clubs throughout the school holidays, from sports camps to cooking and science camps and more! To register your interest and join our holiday club mailing list, please email us.
