School Sports
The Schools, since their foundation, have the ancient saying “healthy mind in a healthy body” as a guide in combining sports with excellent education.
Sport is an integral part of school life and supported by highly qualified teachers of physical education and coaches, as well as by outstanding infrastructure.
Our students’ numerous and significant distinctions on a world and national level fully justify this choice.
Our Distinctions
The great successes of the infrastructure departments of the “Evangelos Mantoulidis Educational Sports Club” at the pan-Hellenic level in recent years (two championships for teenagers and seven for children), as well as the quality work done in the Club, resulting in the selection of a number of players who compete in national teams , A1 and Euroleague teams, are a collective record that will be hard to beat in the future.
Facilities
Mandoulides Schools comprise a modern and dynamic educational, sports, and cultural community that is renowned throughout Greece.
The Schools include:
Day Care Center, Kindergarten, Elementary School, Junior – Senior High School, Counseling and Studies Abroad Center.
Goals & Vision
The great goal and vision of Evangelos Mantoulidis was the organization of the infrastructure departments (Mini – Pre-Kids – Children – Adolescents). A professor of philology, he believed that children through sports and especially from the sport of basketball acquire very powerful resources for their development (spiritual, physical, social, professional).
With methodical work, patience and perseverance and always guided by a pure and honest struggle, the results soon came, justifying him, as well as his worthy partners.

MAS - Chronology
The Cultural Athletics Association Evangelos Mantoulidis (MAS Mandoulides) was founded in 1970 under the name MAS Ippokratis.
In 1989 Evangelos Mantoulidis, founder of the Schools, assumed sponsorship of the team. The Men’s Basketball Team then competed in the E’ category of EKASTH. In 1992 Evangelos Mantoulidis assumed the management of the Association and the name of the group changed to MAS Mandoulides-Ippokratis, and then in 2002 MAS Mandoulides. In 2015 it is renamed “Evangelos Mantoulidis Sports and Educational Association” as a token of respect to its founder, Evangelos Mantoulidis.
The contribution of Evangelos Mantoulidis after he took the reins of the Association was truly great. The Men’s Team has risen in league every year since. In 1994, for the first time in its history, the team competed in the A’ league of EKASTH. In 1995 the team rose to the C’ National League. Since then, the team has been competing in national leagues (B – C National). The team has been named National Champion in the C’ league 3 times (1998, 2002, 2009).
General
The great successes of MAS Mandoulides on a national level in recent years (2 men’s championships and 7 boys’ championships), and the qualitative work that takes place in the Association which has resulted in the emergence of the majority of players competing in national teams, teams A1 and Euroleague, make for a cumulative record which will be irrefutable in the future.

Clubs
Soccer is a social game. Collaboration with teammates and the special relationship with the opponents are the key ingredients that result in the socialization of children. The dramatic nature of the game, which is due to the constantly changing situations, nurtures and cultivates children spiritually and mentally. There is still a moral side to this activity with respect to regulations, disciplined play and acceptance of punishment.

Philosophy, the athlete’s spirit
The main objective of this program is for students to come to love exercising first and foremost, to learn to respect the team’s rules, and of course, the teacher.
In self-defense, the athlete is taught to protect and defend himself or herself from any attack.
In Poomsae uniforms, the athlete is taught different defensive and offensive moves with balance and rhythm against an imaginary opponent. Finally, in the race technique, the athlete tries to earn points through various methods and learns to compete within an 8×8 sq.m arena, wearing protective clothing, such as a safety shield, helmet, dentures, and shin guards.
