The Sta. Elena Construction Volleyball Team is a professional volleyball team in the Philippines playing in various tournaments, including the Spikers' Turf and Philippine Superliga (PSL). The team was previously known as the Champion Infinity Active Smashers (originally, Systema Active Smashers) until September 2015 when Sta. Elena Construction & Development Corporation took over sponsorship of the team from Peerless Products Corporation (Champion Infinity and Systema).

History

The team debuted in the Philippine Superliga (PSL) as the Systema Active Smashers, 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 changed its name to 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 renamed as the Sta. Elena Construction Wrecking Balls in the 2015 Spikers' Turf Reinforced Open Conference.
