Youth work

Until the 2009/10 season, the club maintained youth teams for boys and girls aged eight and over in all age groups (MIXU10, MIXU12, WU14, MU14, WU16, MU16, WU18, MU18, WU22, MU22). Austrian and Styrian championships are contested with this range. In 2004 the club was selected by the basketball magazine Fullcourtpress as the best young basketball club in Austria for the 2003/04 season. The number of successes in the ÖMS (Austrian Championship) and the number of teams were assessed according to a point system.

The board of UBSC Graz decided in the 2017/18 season to decouple the youth economically and organizationally from the Bundesliga club.

The youth will be named UBSC Juniors Graz. Under the direction of Dr. Mike Zaunschirm and the sporting director Edvin Brkic, around 120 young people will be looked after by trained coaches in the 2018/19 season.

The U14 youth team became Styrian national champion and Austrian national champion in the 2016/17 season and the U 19s were Styrian national champion and Austrian runner-up.

The financial outlay in youth work is given as around 100,000 euros per year.

As of the 2010/11 season, the club no longer has any female teams. Most of the players have been taken over by the two newly founded women's basketball clubs 'UBI Graz' and 'DBBC Graz'.
