Team history

The foundation of the club took place on 26 August 2013 in the city of Lublin as a sports association under the name LKPS Lublin. Lublin began its history in the 3rd Polish Volleyball League, playing there from the club foundation in 2013 until 2015.

From 2015 to 2019, Lublin was playing in the 2nd Polish Volleyball League. In 2019, the team coached by Maciej Kołodziejczyk finished the league in 2nd place, and won promotion to the 1st Polish Volleyball League.

In 2021, acting as LUK Politechnika Lublin, the team won the league and therefore gained the possibility to play in the upcoming PlusLiga season.[1][2]
