History

The club under the sponsorship name of Kinzo Amstelveen became back to back Dutch champions in the biennium 1975–76/1976–77(ranked first twice in a row with 29–7 and 33–3 record in the regular seasons each year).[1] In 1976–77 season Kinzo also played in the first round of FIBA European Champions Cup where it faced in a group stage, the Belgian Racing Maes Pils Mechelen, the French Tours and the Austrian Shopping Centre Wien, with a record of two wins (both in Amstelveen) and four defeats.[2]
