History

edit

The club was founded in 2011, when in its first ever season it entered a women's team in the 2nd league (the 3rd highest competition in the Czech Republic). In its first season, the team finished in the final 6th place, which it also occupied in the 2012–13 season.[7][8] In 2013, the male component of the club was also founded. The men's A team was placed in the regional class, i.e. the lowest competition, from which it gradually worked its way up to the Division (4th highest competition), to which it advanced in 2019, from the Czech regional league. The 2017–18 season was also significant, in which the women's team advanced to the 1st league, i.e. the second highest competition. The season was also successful from the point of view of the junior team, which dominated the Second league.[9]

In the 2021–22 season, the men's A team successfully managed to rebuild the squad, which included players from junior and adolescent teams, this was already evident at the Czech Open tournament, from which Třinec took home silver medals in the Open category.[10][11] The most successful season in the history of the club was the 2022–23 season, when first the men's A team advanced to the Národní liga mužů, i.e. the third highest competition, then the Třinec B team also advanced, which advanced to the seventh highest competition. In the end, the women's A team was also able to advance, which, thanks to the victory in the play-off over the Panthers Prague team 3:1 for matches, made its way to the women's Extraliga.[4]

The club currently has a base of over 420 players, divided into 17 teams in 8 categories.[12]
