Sta. Elena Ball Hammers is a professional volleyball team in the Philippines playing in various tournaments, including the Spikers' Turf (previously with the Premier Volleyball League) and Philippine Superliga (PSL).

History

The team debuted in the Philippine Superliga (PSL) as the Systema Active Smashers (under the sponsorship of Peerless Products Manufacturing Corporation), playing as one of the pioneer teams in the men's division. The team also participated in the inaugural men's conference of the Shakey's V-League (the precursor of the Spikers' Turf).[1] In 2015, the team was renamed the Champion Infinity Active Smashers and became one of the pioneer teams of the Spikers' Turf, the male counterpart of the Shakey's V-League.

In September 2015, Sta. Elena Construction & Development Corporation took over sponsorship of the team and played as the Sta. Elena Construction Wrecking Balls. In October 2016, the team was renamed the Champion Supra Smashers with the return of Peerless Products Manufacturing Corporation as its sponsor.

In 2017, Sta. Elena Construction & Development Corporation returned as its sponsor.
