Polonia Warsaw

SKK (Women's Basketball Section) Polonia Warsaw - is a Polish professional women's basketball club based in Warsaw, currently playing in the basketball premier league - Basket Liga Kobiet. History The female sports games section of the Polonia Warsaw club was established in 1925. The first discipline of the section was hazena, and soon the players also started playing basketball and volleyball (usually practicing several sports at the same time). In the 1930s, Polonia's women basketball players were among the country's top players - they won two Polish championship titles (1934, 1935), twice won the Winter Cup of the Polish Sports Games Association (1934, 1935 - a tournament equivalent to today's Polish Cup), twice won the national vice-championship (1933, 1937) and once took third place (1939). After World War II, the women's basketball section was revived in mid-1948, and the very next year the basketball players won the Polish vice-championship. In the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, Polonia finished on the podium of the Polish championship six times. Its greatest successes - including the Polish vice-championship in 1976 - came under coach Bohdan Bartosiewicz, who held that position continuously from 1962 to 1976. In 1976 the Polonia women's basketball represented Poland as Vice-Champions in the Ronchetti Cup.
