SBBKs men's team is called Södertälje Kings and their women's team is called Telge Basket. Both of the teams play in the highest leagues in Sweden (Basketligan and Damligan).
SBBK can be divided into three parts: elite- and young elites (All-star), Stadsdelsverksamheten (SDV) and Södertälje Basketball League (SBL). SBL is where everyone can play, from a young player to an adult. The home for SBBK is in Täljehallen in the center of Sodertalje, next to the new hospital.

Beneath these teams there are youth teams in SBBK's elite preparation which are called All-Star. Young prospects play in those teams and the first audition is in the sixth grade in school. Many of SBBK's championship golds such as Swedish Cup have been captured by these teams. SBBK is one of the most dominating teams on the youth- and elite league in Sweden.
On the side of the basketball teams there is a co-operation with Södertälje Municipality which allows students from the seventh grade up to the last year of high-school to practice during schooltime. Rosenborgsskolan and Igelstavikens Gymnasium are schools where students can combine their studies with basketball.
Every child from 6 to 15 years old is allowed to participate in SDV. They can go to a practise, get enrolled, and be able to participate in games. Most of the times the children chose to play with the team that is closest to the school. There are teams spread all over Södertälje. The teams have different names such as Rams (Soldalaskolan), Bulls (Blombackaskolan) and Wolves (Fornbackaskolan).
