The First Basketball Club Geldrop was founded in September 1972 in an attic room on the Biezenstraat in Geldrop. The five founders: Jan Cremers, Hans van Grieken, Jos van Iperen, Pierre Jansen and Gerdi Jochems were looking for a new leisure activity. Basketball as a new emerging sport attracted the five and the club was founded with the help of the NBB (Dutch Basketball Association). This required at least a senior and a youth team, which were recruited in the municipality. In addition to the mentioned board members, Joost van Beek registered as the first member.
At the end of November 1972, the first training sessions started in a gymnasium on the parallel road under the leadership of Frans van Grieken. From the '73-'74 season onwards, full participation in the competition took place. They moved to the sports hall in Zesgehughten because it met the competition regulations. This is also where the growth of the association began, with several teams coming to play in competitions.
