Gal Mekel, who played in the European Championships for the first time this summer, and led Gilboa\/Galil to the Final Four of the Winner League last season, has returned to the club where he got his start and took the Youth Championship \u2013 Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv.
The young guard will take part in the first full team practice on Tuesday, after having enjoyed (along with the rest of the National Team players) a few days off.
On Monday, Mekel underwent a light fitness practice.<\/FONT>

Mekel is excited about his return to Maccabi: \u201cAfter talks with all the top folks in Maccabi Tel Aviv, including professional staff and management, and after consulting with my agent, my parents and others, I decided to stay with Maccabi, which is after all my home.
I\u2019m happy about that decision, and am looking forward to starting practice on Tuesday.
I can\u2019t wait to rejoin the team.\u201d<\/FONT>

On Monday the player\u2019s jersey assignments were decided for the 2009\/10 season:<\/FONT>
