[edit] History

Hapoel Ussishkin was founded in 2007. The club was founded by supporters of Hapoel Tel Aviv B.C. as a protest on the lack of financial support by the club's owner and poor management, which led it to bankruptcy, relegation to the 4th division, and most notably for the demolition of the historic Ussishkin Arena.

In June 2007 the team was founded and registered in the Israeli 5th basketball division (Dan District). The club is owned and run by a supporters' trust with 700 registered paying members as of May 2008. The club finished it's first season with a perfect record of 22-0 and had qualified to the 4th division.
