About Baden Black Jacks

The Baden Black Jacks are the basketball club in Baden, with youth teams from the age of six, women's and men's teams and around 195 players. The men became Lower Austrian state champions in 2025; training mainly takes place in the Sporthalle Baden at Waltersdorfer Straße 40.

Black Jacks since 1992

Basketball has been played in Baden since 1960. A fresh start came in 1990 with a taster session at the Pädagogische Akademie; in 1992 the name Baden Black Jacks was created, and in 1994 the independent club was founded. The club's history includes an Austrian championship title for the school pupils' team in 1996, the first cup final of the women's Bundesliga in 2007 and the Austrian championship title of the boys' U16 in 2012. Today the club's official name is Sportunion Basketballklub Baden Black Jacks and it belongs to the Österreichische Sportunion.

According to the website, the teams play 122 games per season, coached by nine coaches in three halls.
