The first athletes of the team were Cypriots or athletes from the other departments of the club. Main contributors were Renos Fragoudis, Diomidis Symeonidis and Athanasios Aravositas.
Some members of the first team were Angelos Filippou, Nikos Mantzaroglou (the table tennis athlete), Renos Fragoudis, Athanasios Aravositas, Chrisanthos Tsoukalas, Kleon Zachos, Kimon Zachos, Nikos Chrisafis, Lefteris Frantzeskakis, Angelos Messaris and Diomidis Symeonidis.
