Stormvogels was founded in 1912. When professional football was introduced in the Netherlands, both Stormvogels and neighbouring club VSV played in the professional leagues. Because of financial problems of both clubs, their professional teams were merged in 1963. The new club was named Telstar, for the communication satellite launched that year. Stormvogels and VSV returned to the amateur divisions.
