Door Ontwikkeling Tot Ontspanning (DOTO) was founded on July 26, 1933. It peaked in 2005–10 when it played in the Hoofdklasse. A year later it merged into Excelsior Pernis to become VV Pernis.[3] Glenn Helder played for DOTO starting in 2009.[4]

At the 2011 merger, as Excelsior was older, the old DOTO went bankrupt, and the DOTO people joined Excelsior under a new name. This meant that the combined club kept the official foundation date of Excelsior, 19 September 1929. The irregular "merger" also meant that the combined VV Pernis could not continue at the highest league of either parent (DOTO played in the Eerste Klasse, while Excelsior played in the Tweede Klasse) yet had to continue in the Tweede.

VV Pernis played in the first merger year at Sportpark De Madroel, former home of Excelsior Pernis. Since January 2013, VV Pernis has moved to the former complex of DOTO and the members chose a new name for the sports park: Sportpark Pernis.

In 2015, the male first squad relegated to the Derde Klasse and in 2019 to the Vierde Klasse.

The Women's futsal team of VV Pernis plays in Schiedam and made history when, in season 2015–16, it won the Eredivisie championship.[5] In 2017 the team participated in the European Women's Futsal Tournament along with the champions from Spain, Portugal, Russia, Ukraine and Italy.[6]

In 2018 the Women's Futsal Team won the national championship again, beating the women of Drachtster Boys after an extension, 1–2.[7] It lost after the extension of the Cup finals to KTP Nieuw Roden, 2–3. In the summer of 2018 the Pernis women became then female futsal branch of TPP Rotterdam,[8] who won another national championship in 2019. Right after, TPP Rotterdam became the futsal branch of Feyenoord and won the Supercup.[9] Nikki de Roest is among the team's players since 2018.

The 2019–20 season was broken off due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands with VV Pernis 1 exactly in the middle, the 7th place of 13 teams in Vierde Klasse H.
