The Sta. Elena Ball Hammers were a men's volleyball team in the Philippines owned by Sta. Elena Construction & Development Corporation. The team was established in 2013 and first played in the Philippine Super Liga until 2014. Later that year, the team moved to the Sports Vision umbrella, competing in Spikers' Turf and the men's division of the Premier Volleyball League.
While Sta. Elena no longer operates its own team, it has sponsored the NU Bulldogs in Spikers' Turf in 2022 and 2023.
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.
