Vaughan to spearhead Team GB's 2017 Maccabiah medal bid

"The players will now be playing at the correct age with experience from Berlin. I'm expecting some amazing results. We've already seen some exciting players during the trials and it's going to be really difficult to choose six boys and six girls to go Israel as they all have been outstanding in what they have shown so far.”

Vaughan will be assisted by Sophie Conway in Israel. She has been working together with Vaughan at the Elms and been influential in assisting in the running of the Club’s successful Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for the last four years. She coached the aforementioned Aegon Tennis teams to their divisional titles during her time at The Elms as well as work with regional and national players.

Conway said: "It is an honor to be representing Great Britain and British Judaism in one of the most prestigious events in world sport and it will, I'm sure, be an unforgettable experience for all of us.

"I want to make sure that the young athletes and I will always remember our journey to, and during, Israel and I can't wait to get started."
