That would be a surprise to me. I know kids recruited and only Jews were We were talking about leagues, not individual players. The Catholic leagues are not open to my knowledge to non Catholic schools.

See http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3111132,00.html It's open to all Israeli citizens without regard to religion, and to Jews who are not citizens (presumably because they have an automatic right of citizenship, although I don't know that for a fact). I'd also be very, very surprised if many "Catholic Leagues" exclude participants based on religion; perhaps they're confined to certain church teams, or students from Catholic schools, etc. -- but an actual personal religious test for individuals?

Catholic Leagues exist in numerous cities And the Maccabiah Games feature only Jewish athletes. TAPPs' first mistake appears to have been opening itself up to religious organizations with different religious needs and demands.
