History
The volleyball section of Panionios was one of the first sections of the club. It was active as long as Panionios was in Smyrna. After moving of Panionios in Greece the volleyball team came to the country. Panionios was the team which imported the volleyball in Greece.[1][2][3] Until then there wasn't any volley competition in Greece. Panionios starred in the interwar period Athenian championships, regulated by SEGAS. The post war period, the section dissolved and refounded in 1970. The club remained in the lower divisions of the championship until last year. The season 2014-15 Panionios finished in first place of local ESPEDA championship and promoted to A2 for first time in its history.[4]
