Volleyball club Radnički was founded in 1945. Throughout its history, the club was competing in all leagues of the former Yugoslavia. The first major success the club has achieved during the 1980s of the 20th century when they have won second place in the Yugoslav Second Division. The coach of the team at that time was Nikola Matijašević. Already the first season, the club have won fifth place. After the breakup of Yugoslavia, the club has achieved inferior results to qualify for the 1st B National League where he for played 3 seasons. In season 2003/2004 the club has promoted to the 1st A National League, where he today competes. In 1996 Doctor Miroslav Stojanović - Džiga was appointed as the club president.
