Bollklubben Dacke

On February 19, 1987, five athletes gathered in a worn-out gymnasium to play badminton. After a successful session, they decided to establish a sports club for like-minded, sports-interested individuals. From the very beginning, the club’s statutes stated that all members had the right to participate in sports, regardless of physical abilities or prior experience—a clause that was extremely unique at the time, but is now standard in modern sports clubs.

The decision to form a club was not sudden; it had been a long-standing idea among the athletes, and they finally took the step to make it official. Badminton, with both women’s and men’s sections, was the club’s main sport until 1992, and annual club championships were held in both singles and doubles.

In 1992, the badminton section was discontinued in favor of floorball, which allowed for a broader focus on youth development. The club also had a tennis section in 1995 and 1996, which returned in 2000 along with club championships in table tennis.

Floorball had been run in parallel with badminton since 1988, and the club achieved notable success on the youth level, participating in the Småland Floorball Association leagues. During this time, the club fielded teams for both boys and girls, in youth and senior divisions, and had one of the municipality’s largest youth programs. The club also took part in international exchanges, including participation in the Czech Open in Prague, where a boys’ team finished third in what is sometimes called an unofficial club world championship, and two club referees were named the tournament’s best.

Over the years, the club has produced several talented players, particularly on the women’s side—one player eventually competed as a center in the Swedish Elite League, and another was a goalkeeper in the second-highest division. On the men’s side, players have also gone on to compete in Norway’s top league.

However, the floorball section was discontinued in the autumn of 2008, when the majority of active members voted to merge with the club’s local rival, Älmhults IBK.

In 2009, 22 years after its founding, some of the original founders reclaimed the club. The new board immediately decided that the club would once again become a multi-sport organization. Today, the club offers a wide variety of activities, including pétanque, disc golf, horseshoe throwing, darts, mini-golf, golf, shooting, and bowling, among others.

This club primarily shares information via Facebook.
