The history of volleyball in Jastrzębie-Zdrój dates back to 1949 when a group of young boys from the local schools gathered by a sports executive Jan Maciejewski formed a club under the name LZS Jastrzębie.

In the same season, the team led by Bronisław Orlikowski achieved its first medal of the Polish Championship, beating Płomień Milowice in four matches (3–1) for third place.

The team led by him made it to the final of the Polish Championship but had to credit the superiority of BOT Skra Bełchatów, and eventually was awarded with the first ever silver medals won by the club.

In the next PlusLiga season, Jastrzębski Węgiel participated in the CEV Challenge Cup, losing in the quarterfinals to Italian club Copra Berni Piacenza (1–3, 3–2).

Ryszard Bosek has decided to resign his post a month after that defeat and has been replaced by an Italian coach Tomaso Totolo who led the club to its 2nd silver medal, again losing in the final of the Polish Championship to BOT Skra Bełchatów.

During his work with the club, Jastrzębski Węgiel managed to reach the final of the 2008–09 CEV Challenge Cup held in İzmir.

In 2010, the team led by him not only ended the season in 2nd place but also for the first time in club's history won the Polish Cup, beating Asseco Resovia in the final (3–2).

In 2014, the club for the second time in its history advanced to the Final Four of the CEV Champions League held in Ankara, Turkey and after defeating Zenit Kazan won a bronze medal.

[10] The team led by Piazza took 4th place of the Polish Championship and has been eliminated in the Playoff 12 stage of the 2014–15 CEV Champions League by Italian club Sir Safety Perugia (2–3, 0–3).

[14][15] Mark Lebedew remained as the Jastrzębski Węgiel head coach for 3 seasons, during his work the club achieved its 7th bronze medal of the Polish Championship after 2 matches for 3rd place against Asseco Resovia (3–1, 3–2).

Before the 2018–19 PlusLiga season, a few notable players reinforced the squad: two–time World Champion Dawid Konarski and two national team members: Julien Lyneel and Christian Fromm.

Santilli led the club to its 8th bronze medal of the Polish Championship after defeating Aluron Virtu Warta Zawiercie in 3 matches (3–2, 3–2, 3–0).

A month after the beginning of the 2019–20 PlusLiga season, the club management decided to dismiss Roberto Santilli due to "the unsatisfactory team performance and lack of expected results".

[31] During the away game against Zenit Kazan, Jastrzębski Węgiel managed to come back from 9–14 in the 5th set, and defeated the six–time CEV Champions League winners 16–14.
