Sports
The Office of Youth Affairs carries out all sportive, social, scouting, etc. activities in cooperation with the academy management staff:
There exist several sport teams like football, basketball, handball, etc. Distinguished students are allowed to do the training in different national clubs in their spare time and are supported by the academy. A monthly sports festival is carried out by the academy in the vacation days (Saturday and Thursday) where the majority of students share in different teams and finally winning teams are gaining prizes. The teaching staff, dean, and vise dean share students in these sportive days such that students and their professors gent the feeling of a cooperative family. Modern Academy is now in the initiative stage for preparation of all playgrounds required for building up its own sportive stadium.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“I looked so much like a guy you couldn’t tell if I was a boy or a girl. I had no hair, I wore guys’ clothes, I walked like a guy ... [ellipsis in source] I didn’t do anything right except sports. I was a social dropout, but sports was a way I could be acceptable to other kids and to my family.”
—Karen Logan (b. 1949)
“It was so hard to pry this door open, and if I mess up I know the people behind me are going to have it that much harder. Because then there’s living proof. They can sit around and say, “See? It doesn’t work.” I don’t want to be their living proof.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 87 (June 17, 1991)
