'''Picadero Jockey Club''', also known until 1970 as '''Picadero [Damm](/source/S.A._Damm)''' for sponsorship reasons, was a Spanish multisports club from [Barcelona](/source/Barcelona) founded in 1951.
==History==
Overall the club enjoyed its golden era during the 1960s. Throughout this decade its [men's basketball](/source/basketball) team won two [Spanish Cups](/source/Copa_del_Rey_de_Baloncesto) in 1964 and 1968[[http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1968/05/27/pagina-22/952955/pdf.html Picadero, sensational champion of the Basketball Cup.] [El Mundo Deportivo](/source/El_Mundo_Deportivo)] and was the runner-up of the [Spanish League](/source/Liga_Nacional_de_Baloncesto) for three years in a row (1964–66) and in 1970, while its [women's basketball](/source/women's_basketball) reached the [Spanish Cup](/source/Copa_de_la_Reina_de_Baloncesto)'s final in 1960 and was the following year the first Spanish team to enter the [Women's Basketball European Cup](/source/Euroleague_Women) after [CD Cottet](/source/CD_Cottet) renounced for financial reasons, losing to [Sportif Casablancais](/source/Sportif_Casablancais) in the [qualification round](/source/1960%E2%80%9361_European_Cup_(women's_basketball)).[[http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1961/01/22/pagina-8/645223/pdf.html?search=picadero%20casablanca Sportiv de Casablanca, qualified for the III European Cup.] El Mundo Deportivo]
While Picadero is most remembered for its basketball teams, the club's [baseball section](/source/Picadero_JC) was its most successful team in the international scene, winning the inaugural edition of the [European Cup](/source/European_Cup_(baseball)) in 1963 and a second trophy five years later. Picadero's [team handball](/source/women's_handball) team won four [Spanish Leagues](/source/Divisi%C3%B3n_de_Honor_Femenina_de_Balonmano) in a row between 1964 and 1967 and a fifth one in 1970, while its [men's volleyball](/source/volleyball) team won the first two editions of the [Spanish League](/source/Superliga_de_Voleibol_Masculina) in 1965 and 1966. Picadero also had [rink hockey](/source/rink_hockey), [cycling](/source/cycle_sport) and [rugby](/source/Rugby_football) teams.[[http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/2009/11/12/pagina-38/5056786/pdf.html 40th anniversary of Picadero's promotion to the top division.] El Mundo Deportivo]
The 1970s meant the beginning of the end for Picadero JC as the club collapsed financially. Picadero had to close most of its sections,[[http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1973/05/28/pagina-1/989463/pdf.html Picadero renounces to play the basketball championship.] ''El Mundo Deportivo''] and soon only the women's basketball team remained. However the team, known for sponsorship reasons as PICEFF Barcelona, Picadero Evax, Íntima Barcelona, Picadero Comansi and finally Natural Cus, experienced its golden years in this period, winning six [Spanish Leagues](/source/Liga_Femenina_de_Baloncesto) between 1975 and 1983[[http://www.feb.es/Documentos/Archivo/pdf/prensa/digitales/BASKETFEMENINO2.pdf List of champions] in the [Spanish Basketball Federation](/source/Spanish_Basketball_Federation)'s 2007 season dossier] and reaching the European Cup's quarter-final group stages in 1977 and 1979.[[http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1979/02/08/pagina-34/1411864/pdf.html 84-82: Íntima was close to surprise Sparta Prague.] ''El Mundo Deportivo''][[http://todor66.com/basketball/Eurocups/Women_CC_1979.html 1978-79 Results] in Todor66.com] In addition the team won seven national Cups, achieving doubles in 1975, 1978, 1980 and 1983.[[http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1983/05/29/MD19830529-070.pdf Comansi, monopolizing trophies.] ''El Mundo Deportivo''] The 1985 Cup was its last national title and the team was also disbanded in 1989, ending Picadero JC's history.
