;Background
The origins of the club can be traced back to the 1860s, when the Sokol movement started to spread across the Austrian Empire. In 1867, when Austria-Hungary was formed, the society was founded.
;Volleyball
Volleyball was introduced in Austria in 1925, initially being played and taught at the Komensky Real Gymnasium in Vienna X. During that time Sokol Vienna organized teams and tournaments, playing an important role to popularize the sport, and soon the club had volleyball sections in many different districts of Vienna. In 1953, Sokol was one of the founding members of the Austrian Volleyball Federation. Today's women's volleyball team is a combination of the original Sokol V with SV Schwechat.
