Maccabi GB will be doing its best to nurture future Olympians by increasing its role in PE and sports in Jewish schools.

It has agreed a partnership with a leading provider of sports coaching, the Elm Group.

Neil Taylor, Maccabi GB's head of sport and community partnerships, said the Elm link would see "more Jewish children play more sport more often".

Ten Jewish primary schools in London will now use Maccabi for PE and sports clubs this year and the number of children on soccer pitches, netball courts and playing other games will rise by 500 to 2,200 each week.
