Aris Leeuwarden is a Dutch professional basketball club based in Leeuwarden. It has competed in the Dutch Basketball League since 2004. Aris plays its home games at the Kalverdijkje.
History
The parent club was actually founded in 1992, when the clubs Sporty and Ymir merged into BV Aris. In 2004 the professional team was founded, when the team promoted from the Promotiedivisie – the Dutch second-tier league – to the Eredivisie. The team, coached by Tom Simpson, was named Woon!Aris for sponsorship reasons and reached the Playoffs in its first season. After then, the team failed to reach the postseason for four seasons. In 2009–10, Aris, then named De Friesland Aris, reached the playoff semi-finals for the first time.
In the 2012–13 season, Aris was in financial trouble after it lost their main sponsor Lasaulec.[1] Despite these circumstances Aris' squad – which included All-Stars Holcomb-Faye and Givens – reached the DBL Finals. Rival #1 seed Den Bosch was knocked out of the tournament 3–1 in the semi-finals. In the Finals Aris played ZZ Leiden and lost 0–4 to the #2 seed of the regular season.[2]
Before the start of the 2013–14 Aris got a new main sponsor in Univé, which guaranteed the existence of the team.[3] The capacity of Kalverdijkje was also increased from 800 to 1,700 to further increase the stability for the club's future.[4]
In the 2019–20 season, Aris reached the final of the Dutch Basketball Cup for the first time in history.[5]
