Amman Baccalaureate School Athletics - absathletics

Welcome to the ABS Athletics Website!

At ABS we believe that a strong after-school sports programme can, as part of the school’s overall curriculum, help prepare students to be successful in life.  ABS teams stress hard work, leadership, camaraderie, sportsmanship and fair play, while promoting and fostering a desire to learn about, and learn from, sports.
