**2015: Season One - Permanent Team Era**

The PExVC began as an exclusive volleyball club for members of an online Filipino Forum. Its first playing game happened on September 19, 2015 at the YMCA of Manila in Ermita. The club continued its operations every Saturday with venues including the Lourdes School of Mandaluyong and the Meralco Gym. Players are assigned to 4 color teams: Black, Red, White and Yellow -- the four colors of the PEx logo, and would play round robin matches.

By November 2015, the club formed the permanent team era, where every member had a "home" team. Players were assigned to permanent teams every week, and all teams competed against each other to earn the right to become the weekly color games champion. Aside from its regular color games, special themed games were played so members can enjoy shuffled teams. Some of the early special games included the UAAP Games, the Captain's Cup, the Setter's Cup and the World Cup. This was the season one of PExVC.

**2016: Season Two, UAAP Cup, Tournament, External Leagues and Charity Games**

Because of the growing number of participants, by February 2016, the club formed a fifth color team sporting the color Blue. Together, the five color teams, made up of 9-11 members each, formed the permanent teams of the club. Each team sported a moniker: The Black Astrons, the White Crusaders, the Yellow Hawks, the Red Predators and the Blue Royal Bandits, and each week, the five teams battled it out for weekly supremacy.

    Since its first inception in season one, it has become an annual tradition to hold the UAAP Cup coinciding with the opening of the UAAP Volleyball Tournament.  Members would form their teams based on their favorite UAAP school and will battle for the one day championship.

By July 2016, the first ever SEASON LEAGUE was played, a month long tournament with a format similar to the collegiate and professional volleyball clubs in the Philippines. The Blue Royal Bandits emerged as the first ever champion of the tournament. This marked the end of season two.

By October 2016, all color teams were shuffled to form another set of five color teams, another set of monikers, and another set of team captains. And it followed the format used by season two for one calendar year, and the month-long tournament marked the culmination of the season. This would continue until its current season.

PExVC became popularly known as one of the first clubs to employ a Statistics System which records the skills performance in its games. This started through a manual recording that eventually became automated starting season two.

    By September 2016, the club joined its first ever external league - The MVB Invitationals where season two champions, Blue Royal Bandits emerged as bronze winners. And in March 2019, the club sent season five champs Blue Mayari to participate in the AOVS UAAP League and emerged as quarterfinalists.

By December 2016, PExVC had its first charity games, where it sent 4 home teams to compete in the Bignay Youth Foundation volleyball tournament.

**2017: Beach Volleyball Games and PExVC+**

By July 2017, PExVC held its first ever Beach Volleyball Tournament at the Mall of Asia Sands By The Bay Court. This was participated in by 12 pairs and the tandem of August Mendez and Bernard Barlaan won the tournament. A second season was held in March 2018 where the pair won its second title.

**2018: Grand Prix and Invitationals**

Starting January 2018 (Season 4), every season of the club was extended to a Grand Prix Tournament. Aside from the all-local crew, the teams are now reinforced with guest players of their choice. Some of the notable guest players to have played in the Grand Prix are Alfred Valbuena and Sam Paquiz of UP, Jayson Ramos of UST and power hitter Madz Segismundo.

    PExVC also organized an Invitational tournament wherein it invited volleyball clubs within Metro Manila to compete in a one-day league. Its first ever contest was held last February 17, 2018 where the Alta-Omega Voleibol Squad (AOVS) emerged as winners.

Aside from its weekly games and special events, the club also holds special games for its Anniversary and Christmas seasons.
