The history of Kadetten Schaffhausen goes back to
1791. From the 18th century, various local clubs, called
Kadettenkorps, used to prepare high-school students for military service in the Swiss militia. In the early days, Kadetten played
field handball. Only in 1966, they joined the indoor competition. In 1988, Kadetten were promoted to the 1st Swiss division. In 1999, Kadetten Schaffhausen won the
Swiss Men's Handball Cup for the first time and in 2005 the first
Swiss Handball League championship. Since 2011, Kadetten Schaffhausen has operated the Suisse Handball Academy at the BBC Arena in Schaffhausen. It serves as Switzerland’s official national performance center for men’s handball. The academy offers a state-of-the-art infrastructure and accommodation under one roof. == Team 2025/26 ==
