remarks =The Eastern Mediterranean Activities Conference (EMAC) is a regional league that hosts tournaments in a wide range of athletic and academic activities. The conference consists of American international schools in the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Egypt, Oman, and several other Middle Eastern nations.
Activities
Basketball, volleyball, swimming, tennis, soccer, track and field, cross country, and badminton are offered as athletic activities. Separate tournaments are offered for girls and boys, as well as separate tournaments for Junior Varsity and Varsity teams. EMAC also offers three non-athletic activities: Forensics, Academic Games, and the Fine Arts Festival. These events are gender-neutral, while Forensics is open to all high school students (there is no distinction between Varsity and Junior Varsity).
Tournaments
School teams will typically prepare 1-2 months before an EMAC tournament, which is scheduled over a weekend so as not to disturb school sessions. Participating schools take turns hosting the event, meaning that they are responsible for facilitating the events and housing the traveling athletes with their own students.
chools
Some schools that regularly participate in EMAC tournaments are:
*American Community School of Abu Dhabi
*American School of Dubai
*American International School of Kuwait
*American School of Kuwait
*American School of Doha
*Cairo American College
*American Community School at Beirut
