Club Bàsquet Valls is a basketball club based in Valls, Catalonia, Spain that currently plays in Liga EBA, the fourth tier of Spanish basketball.
History
Founded in 1952, its first success happened in 1993 when the club qualified for the promotion playoffs to Primera División, in that time the second tier.
In 1995 the club promoted to Liga EBA after finishing champion of the promotion stage played in Monzón.
In 2001, Valls made its debut in LEB 2, third tier. In its first season, it qualified for the promotion playoffs but was eliminated in the quarterfinals. In 2004, CB Valls finished as semifinalist of the Copa LEB Plata played in Logroño champion of the 2003–04 LEB 2 and subsequently promoted to Liga LEB. The club played only one season, where, despite a great start leading the table during two weeks,[1] it avoided narrowly the relegation.
Due to the lack of funds to remain playing in the second tier, in 2005 the club resigned to continue in LEB and came back to the regional Catalan leagues. In 2007, despite promoting from Liga EBA to LEB Bronce, CB Valls decides to remain in the EBA league, where it would play one more season before definitively resigning to play in national competitions.
In 2016, thanks to an expansion of the Group C of Liga EBA, Valls comes back to this league.[2]
Sections
In 1971, after the opening of municipal pavillion Joana Ballart, the club creates the women's basketball team. CB Valls also created several sections like football, cycling, tennis, table tennis, rink hockey and pétanque. Currently, only women's basketball, cycling[3] and table tennis continue with activity.
