The center was established in 2021 by trans woman Sydney Calderon who also became the team owner of the Savouge Spin Doctors.[2][3] Calderon did not immediately organize a volleyball team and focused on growing her own business.[4]
The Savouge Spin Doctors was later formed debuting at the 2023 PNVF Challenge Cup initially collaborating with RTU–Basilan.[5][6][7] They also took part at the 2024 PNVF Champions League.[8]
They joined the Spikers' Turf for the 2024 Open Conference[9] with Sammy Acaylar as their head coach.[10]
In the 2024 Invitational Conference, the Spin Doctors was noted by its majority-LGBTQ+ roster and led by Savouge Aesthetics owner Calderon herself finished third place.[11][12][13][14] The team duplicated its finish in the 2025 Open Conference.[15]
