History

Two volleyball clubs, Perttelin Peikot and Salon Piivolley, decided to join their clubs and create a new club. The resulting club was named Salon Piivolley. Piivolley continued in the Finland volleyball league in Perttelin Peikot's place. During the 2001 season, the team won bronze in the league, and in the 2003 season it won the Finland Cup Championship. The club advanced to league finals three times during the 2004-2006 seasons, but lost every final game. In the Finland Cup, the team advanced to the cup finals during 2004, 2006 and 2007. Once there, however, they lost to Pielaveden Sampo in 2006 and 2007 and to Raision Loimu in 2004.
