Sports Competitions:
The Academy organizes recreational sports competitions among its students. Sport is a set of activities that individuals or groups engage in to develop and train their bodies, occupy their time, and cultivate behavior.
The Academy gives attention to recreational competitions, as they contribute to the development of students' abilities and provide entertainment. These competitions include a variety of team and individual games such as:
The hurdle, push-up, and bench press competition:
Firstly, the pull-up exercise, also known as the bar pull-up, is one of the most famous and challenging exercises. It relies solely on bodyweight and offers numerous benefits. The pull-up exercise recruits all the muscles in the upper body, making it ideal for those seeking strength.
Secondly, the push-up or leg exercise is a common exercise in the Arab world that is often neglected by trainees when it comes to strengthening their leg muscles. In other words, they do not pay enough attention to the lower half of their bodies. Neglecting leg exercises results in weak and skinny legs. It has become common to see trainees focusing solely on their upper bodies while their legs remain weak and underdeveloped. Some even have to wear long shorts to hide their muscular atrophy. Even those who practice leg exercises often do so incorrectly and sometimes dangerously. When I see a trainee at the gym performing squats, I often notice that they use excessively heavy weights and have a very limited range of motion. In other words, they place the weight on their back and only lower themselves a few centimeters. However, each muscle should be trained in its full range of motion to develop strong and attractive muscles.
Thirdly, bench press exercises are known for developing massive and strong chest muscles, which are a distinctive feature of bodybuilding champions like Cross Cromier. These champions were not born with massive and powerful chests, but through perseverance and consistent intense training, combined with genetic readiness, they were able to strengthen and enhance their chest muscles significantly. It may not be easy for any player to reach the level of strength and size of Cross Cromier's chest muscles, but they can be strengthened through intense training and attention to proper form and technique.
Tug of War Competition:
Tug of War is a popular game played in rural clubs, army and police clubs, and sports events. It is a strength-based game that works on strengthening the muscles of the arms, legs, back, and abdomen. It brings joy and pleasure to its participants.
The game is played between two teams of equal number and weight. Each team stands holding one end of a rope that is at least 20 meters long. The referee stands between the teams, distinguishing the center of the rope with a cloth or a flag. Then the referee signals the start of the tug of war. Each team pulls the rope with the strength of their arm and leg muscles. If one team succeeds in pulling the opposing team off their position and bringing them closer to themselves, that team is considered the winner of the match. In some clubs, a game of tug of war consists of three rounds. The team that wins two out of three rounds is declared the winner of the match.

Basketball:
Basketball is a game played between two teams, with each team aiming to shoot the ball into a high hoop or basket that is elevated above the court. Each side of the court has a basket, and team members run to score points by getting the ball into the opponent's basket.
Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world after football (soccer). Both men and women can participate in the game, following the same rules and skill requirements.

Volleyball:
Volleyball is one of the world's most popular sports. It is played by two teams, each consisting of six players, with a high net dividing the court. The objective is for the team to hit the ball over the net into the opponent's area. Each team has three attempts to hit the ball over the net. A point is awarded to a team when the ball hits the opponent's ground, or if a fault is committed, or if the team fails to properly return the ball.
Volleyball is a modern sport with European origins but developed and grew in the United States. It was introduced by William G. Morgan, the director of physical education at the YMCA, in 1894. He modified and developed the game to allow American businessmen to participate. He is credited with creating the current volleyball and replacing the German bladder with the current net used in the sport.
On February 9, 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts, the United States, William Morgan, the American physical education director, created a new sport called "Mintonette" as a recreational pastime. He preferred the game to be played indoors and with any number of players. The sport took some elements from tennis and handball, at a time when basketball was also a new sport. Volleyball was created as a less rough indoor sport compared to basketball, suitable for older members of a society, although it still requires effort to play.
Football:
Football, also known as soccer, is a team sport played between two teams, each consisting of 11 players. Football has approximately 250 million players in over 200 countries around the world, making it the most popular and widely played sport globally. The game is played on a rectangular field with goals on each end. The objective of the game is to score goals by kicking the ball into the opponent's goal.
The goalkeeper is the only player allowed to touch the ball with their hands or arms, but only within their penalty area. Other players primarily use their feet to attack or pass the ball, and they can also use their heads to strike the ball. The team that scores more goals is the winner. If both teams have an equal number of goals at the end of the match, the result can be a draw, or the match may go into extra time or a penalty shootout, depending on the tournament rules. The laws of the game were established in England by the Football Association in 1863. The international governing body for football is FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association). The sport's most esteemed international tournament is the FIFA World Cup, held every four years.

Table Tennis:
Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is one of the most popular sports in terms of player numbers. It is one of the newer major sports. Players compete in either singles competitions or doubles competitions with two players on each team. The table tennis ball is hit with the racket, using either the forehand or backhand, into the opponent's side of the table. The final score is determined by the number of points each player earns during the match. The winner is the first player to reach 11 points, and if the score reaches 10-10, the player must win by two consecutive points. The sport requires quick reaction time and high physical fitness as it is a fast-paced sport.
