Club history

In April 2002 was established the Sports Association Seniors - Juniors "Volleyball 2002". The Association's goal is to popularize volleyball among children and young people and prepare young players for professional practice of the sport. The president of the Association was Krzysztof Wachowiak. Since the same year, the Delic-Pol company became the strategic sponsor of the club.[1]

In September 2010, Delic-Pol Norwid Czestochowa's young volleyball players participated in the First U18 European Club Championships, which were played in the Italian region of Apulia, in the towns of Alberobello, Sammichele di Bari and Castellana Grotte. The Częstochowa players took the gold, leaving in the defeated field such clubs as Arkas Izmir, Trentino Volley, Lube Banca Macherata and ATC Trencin Cop, among others.

Since the 2016/2017 season, the club has continuously played in the Tauron 1. Liga. In the first season of playing on the back of the PlusLiga, the team led by the Panas / Gościniak coaching duo took 10th place. The following season was better and the Częstochowa players eventually placed 7th. The 2018/2019 season brought an even better place "blue-greens" season ended in sixth place. In the 2019/2020 season, Tomasz Wasilkowski became the new coach of the first team, who, due to unsatisfactory sports results, was replaced during the season by Piotr Lebioda.
