History

The basketball section of MKS Dąbrowa Górnicza was found in 1992. In 2003, the club started acting on the national third level.[1] It played for several years in the 2 Liga, until the team won the championship in 2007–08 and was promoted.

The team remained in the 1 Liga for the next 6 seasons. In 2009–10 the team was close to promotion to the PLK but failed to beat Siarka Tarnobrzeg.
