[edit] History

Founded on March 30th 1930 as Penya Spirit of Badalona. Apart from basketball, the club initially had teams involved in several sports including cycling, table tennis and football. In 1932 the club changed its name to Centre Esportiu Badaloni. In 1939 it became Club Joventut Badalona. By 1940 basketball was established as the main sport and green and black were adopted as the club colours. The club has regularly included the name of a sponsor in its name.
