Landstede Basketbal game in 2011

Landstede Basketbal is a Dutch basketball organisation from Zwolle which plays in the Dutch Basketball League, the Dutch first division. The club was founded as Cees Lubbers The Hammers in 1995. In 1999 the name was changed in Landstede Hammers and in 2001 it was changed again to Landstede Basketbal. The home games are played in the Landstede Sportcentrum.

History

The club was founded as Cees Lubbers/The Hammers and was based in Meppel in the first season of the club. The club played with the license of Red Giants Meppel, and moved to Zwolle, partly because arena 'Het Vledder' in Meppel didn't meet requirements.^[1] After a short time Landstede became the main sponsor of the club, that was named Landstede Hammers and later Landstede Basketbal. In the 2004–05 season Landstede reached the Dutch Finals for the first time in club history. It lost 4–0 to Amsterdam. In 2010 the club got a new arena in the Landstede Sportcentrum.
