The club was founded on 17 June 1945 after a merger between Stavern Idrettsforening and Agnes Idrettsforening, hence the name Stag.[1] Football was the first activity in SPKL Stag. As the first club in the district, the club took up handball in the summer of 1945. In 1969, the gymnastics group joined. The club has about 1000 members divided into the activities football, handball and gymnastics. The club's colors are green and white. [2]

Football group in Stag reached their top flight in the 1960s when, after two promotions in a row, they played in the Klasse B (second highest division) in 1969. [3] The club has also raised the former national team players Reidar Sundby[4] and his son, Tom Sundby.[5][6]
