The Mountain biking (MTB) is a sport with a relatively short history, which in 1996 became an Olympic sport, thanks to its rapid spread worldwide, a fact that is due to the combination of sport and dynamic contact with nature.
Our Club, an official member of the Hellenic Cycling Federation (E.O.P.) since 1996, is the first in Greece to develop MTB at the grassroots level, working with such young ages since 1994.
The E.O.P. in the context of its development policy and in recognition of the efforts made by our club, entrusted us with the organization of one of the first National Championships of mountain biking in 1996, a unique event in the sporting annals of our country for a school in all sports.
But the development effort did not stop there, since two years later, in 1998, organized the first international mountain bike race in our country, but it was our club that first promoted the idea of cooperation with clubs of other cities in Macedonia to create a mtb cup for children of smaller categories, with the sole aim of dissemination and development of the sport.
Apart from all these, he organized numerous other inter-club cross country and trial (skill) races.
Physical activity contributes to development and improves both physical and mental health. For this reason, Fryganiotis schools make sure to introduce their students to the world and benefits of sport from an early age. According to experts, from the preschool age the child is ready to start a sports activity Kindergarten, and nursery school can therefore be an ideal starting point for a child's relationship with sport.
However, sport is not only about physical development and health. Through it, the child begins to acquire a way of perceiving the world. By participating in sports, he or she becomes a member of a team and is taught to communicate equally and according to rules, to participate in a common effort towards a common goal. The structuring of the connection between students and sports takes place at all levels of our school, from elementary, middle and high school.Our mission is to provide our students with the necessary skills to graduate as well-rounded individuals, ready to join adult society.
