Cross Country Meet

It has become a proud tradition for ACS Athens to host the Local Cross Country Meet at Syngrou Park in Maroussi every year.

Syngrou Park welcomed more than 110 studentathletes from different international schools in Athens, where they had the chance to compete in a challenging course and gain valuable running experience.

For the ACS Athens athletes, this event sets the stage for the upcoming international competition a few weeks later.

The International Youth Basketball Tournament, in memory of Diana W. Tamari and Hasib J. Sabbagh, took place in mid-February after a two-year absence, and it was a great weekend for our boys and girls varsity teams. An event made possible by the support of Mr. Suheil Sabbagh and Mr. Samir Sabbagh provides the opportunity for our teams to prepare for their end-of-season championships.

This year ACS Cobham (England), AIS Bucharest (Romania), Pinewood (Thessaloniki), and St. Lawrence competed with our ACS Athens teams. There was fierce competition among all teams, and our gym was once again lively with spectators throughout the event. In addition, an exhibition game was held between our full Girls Varsity team and a selection team of girls from the region of Attica; it was an opportunity to showcase top-level girls’ basketball!

The annual ACS Athens International Swimming Cup took place in early March, and the swimming pool was once again buzzing with water splashes, whistles, and students’ cheers!

More than 150 swimmers joined us from Cairo American College, ACS Tunis, GEMS Dubai, Rabat American School from Morocco, ACS Cobham, Ellinogermaniki Agogi, CGS, and Campion to compete with our Varsity and Junior Varsity swimming teams. A great atmosphere and great effort from all our swimmers!

ACS Athens hosted the ISAA Boys Basketball championship on March 15-16 and it was an event full of enthusiasm with plenty of basketball action!

Varsity teams from the American International School of Israel, Cairo American College, International School of Geneva, the British School in the Netherlands and Sotogrande International School.

The Varsity and Junior Varsity ISAA Swimming Championships took place in our very own pool with the participation of a number of schools from the conference: Cairo American College, American International School in Israel, TASIS - England, Schutz American School and Vienna International School.
