Handball

The women's handball team won the Women's EHF Cup Winner's Cup in 1997/1998, and again in 1998/1999. The club also reached the final in EHF Women's Champions Trophy the same two seasons. In 1998 Bækkelaget had the best women's team in Europe. The club still plays in the Norwegian top league, but ambitions are far lower than in their best period.

Among the former players on the female team are:[2] Susann Goksør Bjerkrheim, Kjersti Grini, Heidi Tjugum, Hege Kristine Kvitsand, Camilla Andersen, Anja Andersen, Sahra Hausmann, Siv Heim Sæbøe, Cecilie Leganger, Hong Jeong-ho, Gitte Madsen, Ausra Fridrikas, Ingrid Steen.

Football

The men's team currently plays in the Fourth Division (fifth tier). It last played in the Third Division in 2004.
