Team history

Founding of the club took place in 1921 after the split in the football team "Kordian" belonging to Radomskie Towarzystwo Sportowe (lit. The Sporting Fellowship of Radom). Some athletes left from the structure of the association to form a club Czarni Radom. 2 years later the club, gaining more and more sympathy of the military stationed in Radom 72 Infantry Regiment, transformed into a Military Sports Club – Wojskowy Klub Sportowy "Czarni". Initially, its work was confined only to the football section. In time, the club has expanded its structure. However, bringing a lot of glamor volleyball section was established much later and underwent various hardships.^[1]

A team that based cadets the Żwirko and Wigura Military Aviation School in Radom started in league only one season later. The team took second place in the competition Kielce class, and was withdrawn from the competition and it was only in 1965 created new prospects for the development of volleyball players.

In 1979 a team led by coach Jan Skorżyński was promoted to the second level league. Historical success was achieved by the team based on its own pupils, Radom high schools students and a few soldiers doing military service in Radom.

In 1994 they, coached by Valery Jarużnyj, won the first ever bronze medal of Polish championship. The success repeated a year later and then the coach of the team was Jacek Skrok.^[1]

26 September 1997, the club was transformed into a single sport club and changed its name to Warka Strong Club WKS Czarni Radom. In 1999 Czarni Radom players witch coach Edward Skorek won Polish Cup. In 2000 they played in CEV Cup Winners' Cup.^[1]

Support

Czarni Radom fans in 2001–12 season

Initially cheering for volleyball was created by fans Radomiak, first in the hall in Sadków (Radom), then in Broń Radom Hall (now the MOSiR Hall).^[4] The first steps to create a Fan Club Czarni Radom supporter started at the beginning of 1999.^[5]

In 2003–07, they were supporters without a club. They were conflicted with Jadar Radom because the club did not continue the history and tradition of Czarni Radom that had gone bankrupt. Since 2005 they were not allowed to watch all matches of Jadar.^[6] Through their activity, in 2007, a newly formed association RCS became the successor of the club from 1921.

Their motto is: "The tradition that has survived in our hearts – we are faithful to colors, always dedicated to Czarni Radom".
