Weekend Baseball Tel Aviv Pag e | 2 From the President’s Desk Haim Katz, President Last year was a very busy year for Israel baseball: We continued our efforts to expand Peter Kurz, Secretary General baseball to new frontiers in Israel such as Ofakim and the Galilee, Four national teams represented Israel in tournaments in Europe and the US,. New coaches received their Nathan Pomerantz, Vice President certification, New players were attracted to our Premiere League , The field in Kibbutz Gezer got a significant face lift and over 1000 Israelis participated in our activities.. – Yaron Erel, Treasurer Accomplishments which could not have been made without the generous support of our friends.

We Ephraim Keren, Shfela Region call upon you our friends for your continued support to enable us to reach new towns and neighborhoods, improve and expand our facilities, and help us give Israeli baseball www.baseball.org.il a presence both in Israel and in Europe. שנה טובה Haim Katz President IAB The Pittsburgh Federation has made it easy to make your tax deductable donation to the IAB.

Donate Now Eight New Baseball Coaches Join IAB Ranks What limits the popularity of baseball in Israel? – a. The game is too slow for Israelis, b. There is no baseball culture in Israel c. There are not enough fields in Israel d. all of the above, While these are the most common reasons put forth, the answer is e. none of the above. The primary limiting factor in getting more Israeli’s to play baseball is the lack of coaches, particularly certified coaches. The little league model, which encourages ‘Dads’ to coach local baseball teams only works where there is an unlimited pool of Dads who either almost made it to the big leagues, or if given the chance could do a lot better than the idiot managing [placeholder for the nearest major league team not in first place]. In Israel, the ‘Dad coach’ model works in neighborhoods where there is a concentration of North Americans such as Raanana, Jerusalem, Kibbutz Gezer and the ‘new’ centers of North American Aliyah Bet Shemesh and Modiin. But for the rest of country places like Ofakim and Arad in the Negev, Misgav region in the Galil, and even towns and neighborhoods in the center of the country, like Jaffa and Shoham, there just aren’t any Dad’s available to coach baseball. The problem of recruiting coaches is compounded by the government regulation that all sports coaches must pass a 240 hour course Pag e | 3 approved by the Ministry of Sport to receive certification. Add the $1500 tuition fee to such a course, and we have a formidable obstacle for expanding baseball to the masses. This summer the IAB with the help of the Ministry of Sport and a grant from the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, took a small but significant stride towards overcoming this obstacle. Eight new coaches were certified after completing an intensive month long coaches course at the Wingate Institute. The course was led by Leon Klarfeld and approved by the Ministry of Sport. Four coaches are from the Galilee and the Negev where the IAB has expanded its activities in the last year. Two of the new coaches have never had any previous exposure to baseball, a first for the IAB. The students lived at the Wingate institute for 4 weeks, studying 5 hours of theory and 5 hours of practical baseball lessons every day for 5 days a week. The 240 hour curriculum included anatomy, physiology, sports psychology and coaching theory, along with practical aspects of teaching baseball mechanics and rules, These coaches will now be able to work in community centers and schools throughout the country and increase the number of kids playing baseball. U-Bank Comes to Bat for IAB U‐Bank, the leader in personal banking in Israel, is now the official sponsor of Raanana Baseball. The Raanana baseball program currently has about 150 players age 8 and up playing in various leagues of Israel Association of Baseball (IAB). “U‐Bank is a perfect fit for the IAB.” States Haim Katz, IAB president. “U‐Bank is the leading Israeli bank when it comes to customer service, and baseball is the number one sports product in Israel (as determined by Uri Scheffer, the Director of the Israel Sports Ministry).” Part of the FIBI group, U‐Bank specializes in private banking services and professional financial consultancy since 1934. U‐ Bank's philosophy is personal, discreet and professional service with high standards that is unparalleled in Israeli banking. U‐Bank Raanana branch manager, Gerry Livnat, was looking for means to penetrate local Anglo community. He consulted one of his clients, ‘Coach’ Stu Schapiro. “If you’re looking for the Anglos in this community the best place to find them is on the baseball diamond. Look at your current clients, they’re all baseball coaches!.” Shapiro was referring to fellow coaches Scott Tobin and Seth Cogan who supported Stu’s assessment. “We see a lot of synergy, coming from this relationship. U‐Bank will increase its presence in the English speaking community, and the IAB hopes to leverage U‐Bank’s support to convince other Israeli corporations to looks beyond our numbers into the quality of the community playing baseball in Israel.” [Katz] stated. The sponsorship will be used to improve the presence of baseball in Raanana, both in terms of equipment, and in terms of expanding the program. Richard Kania Returned for Summer Clinics The IAB held one of its most successful summer baseball clinics for 10‐12 year olds, the first two weeks of July at Kibbutz Gezer. Joining an all star local coaching staff led by head coach Ziv Kerem and Administrative director Gil Siegel, were special guest coaches, Richard Kania and his son, from the Czech republic. Over 40 players took part in this intensive baseball experience which took place at the recently enlarged Gezer field (with the help of the JNF). The players spent considerable time honing up on their baseball skills while still finding some time to enjoy themselves in the Gezer pool. Richard is a very resourceful, and positive coach who likes to generate confidence to the players. His standard opening remarks to the players: “I would like you to take a little test. Fill your bathtub, and try to stand on top the water. If you can stand on the water without getting your feet wet, then you have the potential of being a perfect baseball player. If your feet hit the bottom of the tub, then you will make mistakes playing baseball, and our job is to help you get better, and to learn from the mistakes.” The girls who attended the camp enjoyed the benefit of a scholarship from the Meredith Wright’s generous gift from her Bat Mitzva Project. Pag e | 4 Baseball / Building on the (not-so) foreign legion College players strengthen Israel's core. By Steve Klein Haaretz 23 July, 2010 Peter Kurz clearly sees the silver lining in Israel's sixth‐place finish at this week's Prague baseball week. "We met all our goals to gain experience in international tournaments," the secretary general of the Israel Association of Baseball told Anglo File Sports on Wednesday. "You have to play six games in five days, which is very intensive. "We are used to one to two a week. It wears on you physically, psychologically. It's important to know how to do that mentally and physically." The friendly competition in the Czech Republic served as a training tournament for the seven teams. Croatia, Austria and Russia ‐ which are literally out of Israel's league ‐ tuned up for the Photo by: Sarah Gopher senior European championship in Stuttgart in two weeks. Israel, which finished 1‐5, used Prague as a practice tournament for the 2011 qualifiers preceding the 2012 European championships. Kurz says a core of teammates playing college ball in North America give reason to be optimistic that Israel will improve on its third‐place performance in the previous European qualifiers, which was a good finish but not enough to advance. "We've got five guys in college ‐ Ophir Katz in junior college in California, Oren Gal in Canada [York University], Daniel Maddy‐Weitzman in Philly [Haverford], Guy Stevens in California [Pomona‐Pitzer] and Alon Leishman, who is going to junior college [Cypress] in January," says Kurz. "Alon was our best player in this tournament. We were very close in every game." Maddy‐Weitzman and Gal, a Team Canada member at last year's Maccabiah Games who was the Israeli team MVP two years ago, were unavailable for the tournament, indicating that the team could have been more competitive. Pitching is Israel's strong card, and all four whom Kurz refers to as "top‐level pitchers" are past, present or future college players in North America. Besides Leishman, who grew up in Kibbutz Gezer, the rotation boasts Stevens, 19, who grew up in California and has an Israeli mother; Shlomo Lipitz, who grew up in the Tel Aviv system, went to University of California, San Diego and lives in New York; and player‐coach Dan Rothem, who grew up in Israel and played Division‐1 at Gardner‐Webb University in North Carolina.
