The club was founded on 19 October 1970. The club colours are maroon and white.[1]
The club is mainly known for the women's handball team. With players such as Hege Kristine Kvitsand and goalkeeper Annette Skotvoll, the team won the playoff round in 1993.[2][3] The club subsequently contested the 1993–94 Women's EHF Cup. Coached by Željko Tomac, the team brought on a Croatian player Suzana Golja as Sjetne drew the Greek team Doukas in the first round.[4] In the second round, Sjetne drew with Valencia Urbana away, but lost 15–17 at home, which the local press called "lacklustre".[5]
The women's handball team was later relegated from the highest league in 1998, and again in 2000.[6][7]
As of 2025, the club fields no football teams above boys' 14 and girls' 14.[1] Professional players starting as children's players in Sjetne include Fredrik Sjøvold.[8][9]
