The women's section started in the 3rd tier, but has managed two promotions and will play its first season in Polands highest league the Ekstraliga Kobiet in 2010–11. As a result of the expansion of the Ekstraliga in 2010–11, a third-place finish in the 2nd division 2009-10 was enough to reach the promotion playoffs, which were won.
Because of higher number of men's teams, the men's section of Katowice[1] will have a long way up the leagues. After starting in the 8th tier an instant promotion was achieved,[2] the next two seasons the team achieved only a midfield place in the 7th tier.
In 2015 the women's section was disbanded[3] citing financial problems. There were plans to transfer the team to GKS Katowice[4] but eventually GKS re-founded their own women's section.
