Fitness First Würzburg Baskets (formerly known as Würzburg Baskets and s.Oliver Baskets) is a German professional basketball club located in Würzburg. After one year of absence from the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL), the club returned to the first division of German basketball in the 2015–16 season.
It was founded in 2007, with the aim to substitute the original club of the city, who was known as DJK Würzburg, which stood for "Deutsche Jugendkraft" (German youth power), and was affiliated to the DJK-Sportverband (Sport Association), which is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church in Germany. The club has gained fame through its basketball department, in which NBA players Dirk Nowitzki and Maxi Kleber got their starts.
