Under the motto “Healthy mind in a healthy body” and driven by the firm belief that a school—beyond providing proper education—should serve as a cradle for sports and an outlet for youth activity, the Doukas School Sports Club (A.S.E.D.) was founded in 1979 by Ioannis Doukas, Pantelis Letsios, Georgios Tsoumis, Vasileios Kyritsis, and Dimitrios Nikitas.

In the early years, the main focus of Doukas School Athletic Club (Doukas S.A.C.) was centered on the sport of Handball, which it promoted to a great extent. The first handball court was created on the premises of Doukas School, and instruction in the sport began with the participation of 10 athletes (1977-78), taking part in the first school-youth championship organized by SEGAS.

During the following season (1978-79), the club participated in Balkan competitions as well as international tournaments in Teramo, Italy, and Partille, Sweden.

In March 1980, Doukas S.A.C. received official recognition from the General Secretariat of Sports (G.S.S.) as an amateur sports club.

Today, Doukas S.A.C. fields teams in Handball (A1 National Division / Handball Premier), Basketball (National League 1), Futsal (A Division / Futsal Super League), Athletics, and General Gymnastics, while in recent years the Badminton department has suspended its operations. More than 630 young athletes participate across all sports in the Academy departments (U14).
