Club History
D’Iddi e Basketclub ze grënnen, koum 1959 vum Jang Heinricy (Vizepresident vun der FLBB). Hien huet am Emile Schwirtz (fréiere Basketspiller an nei ernannte Schoulmeeschter zu Hiefenech) en Uspriechpartner fonnt, deen net laang gezéckt huet fir en provisoresche Comité ze grënnen.
Déi éischt Membere waren déi Hären:
Mathias Colbach, Emile Schwirtz, Pierre Seyler, Nic Agnes, François Giver, Hary Neuman, Aloyse Schuler a Pierre Winckel.
Den 13. Mee 1959 war am Café Neuman-Flies déi offiziell Grënnungsversammlung. Als Veräinsnumm gouf den Numm „UNION SPORTIVE HIEFENECH“ (USH) gewielt an als Veräinsfaarwe rout a giel.
Déi éischt Seniorsequipe war zesummegesat aus: E. Schwirtz, J-P. Flies, D. Dimmer, Fr. Dimmer, Ch. Biltgen, G. Kieffer, H. Cloos an N. Theis.
Den BBC USH huet vun Ufank un vill Wäert op d’Jugendaarbecht geluecht. Sou haten d’Kanner an der Primärschoul niewent den normale Schoulfächer all Dag Basket um Programm. D’Resultat huet och net laang op sech waarde gelooss an 1965 war d’Cadets souwuel Champion vu Lëtzebuerg wéi och Landesmeeschter bei der LASEP.
Highlights an der Geschicht vum Club
Vun 1989-2000 war den Hiefenech TGV net ze stoppen. D‘1. Equipe huet et fäerdeg bruecht an deene Jore 4 Mol d’Coupe a 4 Mol d‘Championat ze gewannen.
E besonneschen Highlight waren am Hierscht 1990 d’Coupe d’Europe-Matcher géint den FC Barcelona.
Eis Dammenequipe huet an de Joren 2008-2016 3 Mol d’Coupe FLBB gewonnen.
An de vergaangene Joren huet awer och déi gutt Jugendaarbecht hir Friichte gedroen. Och eis Jugendequippe stoungen dacks an der Final a konnten sou munchen Titel mat heem op Hiefenech bréngen.
Zukunftsperspektiven
Natierlech ass et d’Ambitioun vum Club erëm sou erfollegräich ze si wéi an de Joren 1989-2000. De Comité wéi och d’Coache leeë Wäert drop all hire Spillerinnen a Spiller déi beschtméiglechst Trainingskonditiounen ze bidden. Besonnesch wichteg ass fir eis d‘Jugend, well si sinn d’Zukunft vum Hiefenecher Basket!
The idea of establishing a Basketball Club came from Jang Heinricy (vice-president of the FLBB) back in 1959. When talking with Emile Schwirtz (former Basketball player and newly appointed teacher in Heffingen), he soon realized that he had found the perfect person to help him get things started as Emile didn’t hesitate to help him setting up a provisional Committee.
The first Committee was composed by these following gentlemen:
Mathias Colbach, Emile Schwirtz, Pierre Seyler, Nic Agnes, François Giver, Hary Neuman, Aloyse Schuler and Pierre Winckel.
On May 13th 1959, the officially foundation meeting took place, in “Café Neumann-Flies”. The Club’s name and colours were decided as “UNION SPORTIVE HIEFENECH” and red and yellow.
The Club’s first Men’s Team was: E. Schwirtz, J-P. Flies, D. Dimmer, Fr. Dimmer, Ch. Biltgen, G. Kieffer, H. Cloos and N. Theis.
BBC USH was caring about youth from the very begining as kids in primary school, besides having their normal classes, would have Basketball on their schedules every day. As a result of that, it didn’t took long for the Cadets team to bring a Championship Title and a LASEP Championship to Heffingen.
Golden Years
US Heffingen had a brilliant time in the 1989-2000 period, having its Men’s Senior Team winning the Championship and the Cup both for 4 times.
Another big highlight from that time was when the Men’s Team faced FC Barcelona on the European Cup in the Fall of 1990.
Between 2008 and 2016, our Women’s Team won the Cup of FLBB for 3 times while our Youth has been developing some good work over the past years with our teams fighting for Championships and disputing several Cup Finals, bringing a few titles to Heffingen.
Revival
The Club’s ambition is no other than getting back on track to the success that we once had in the past. The Committee, as well as the Coaches, do everything they can to arrange the best conditions possible to their players. Our Youth is considered as extremely important as they are the future of Basketball in Heffingen.
