Perspective
Seinäjoen Maila-Jussit was founded in 1932. The club visited the Championship league three times in the 1940s and 1950s. The club consolidated its place in the main league in 1969 and played in the top flight continuously until 2005.[2]
In 1969, the SMJ won the first medal in its history, the silver medal in the Championship league. Seinäjoki Maila-Jussit took Vimpelin Veto's place as the number one club in South Ostrobothnia in the 1970s. The club's golden age was particularly in the 1980s and the club remained successful until the early 2000s. Between 1974 and 1989, the club won 11 medals - four gold, four silver and three bronze. It dominated the late 70s and 80s together with Jyväskylän Kiri and Hyvinkään Tahko.[2]
During the same period, the club's women's team won five medals - one championship, three silver and one bronze. SMJ also won the Finnish volleyball championship in 1986 and 1987. In the 1990s, the club won four bronze medals. The club's last medal came in 2004. A year later, the club was relegated to the Ykköspesis.[2]
The club was immediately promoted back to the main league. In 2008, however, the club relinquished its main league place and in 2012 the club's men's team merged with Nurmon Jymy to form Seinäjoen JymyJussit. Both clubs were left with their own junior organisations and the club's women's team continued to operate under the SMJ name.[2]
