In June, SCO 1 became champion of the outdoor hoofdklasse, after a 10‑24 win at TFS, in Drachtstercompagnie. The clubs have been working together at youth level since 2023; now the first team also plays as WKS.
In its pool in the Ereklasse, WKS plays against LDODK, Mid-Fryslân and Heerenveen. WKS lost its first match: Mid-Fryslân - WKS ended 20‑12. Mid-Fryslân calls WKS the largest korfball club in the Noorden (the North).
The head coach of WKS 1 is Edward Jonkman. He played for PKC and was a coach at clubs including PKC, Sporting Delta and Dalto. In recent years he worked at the collaboration of SIOS and Leonidas. "The strength lies in combining qualities. If players want to work for each other, you can really take steps together", he said in August on the SCO website.
