It were 12 men's and 12 women's teams of Russian universities. They got the right to represent their regions in the All-Russian volleyball battles. In the Volga Federal District in the women's tournament, two teams received this right: PNRPU (Perm) and VyatSU (Kirov)!

None of the teams made it to the finals "by chance", but made a long way for this. Therefore, from the very first match, stubborn and intense battles began. It was a struggle for every precious point in the games in the subgroups. According to the results of the draw, the VyatSU women's team was in-group “A” together with the teams of the AltSU (Barnaul), Leningrad State University named after A.S. Pushkin (Leningrad region) and the RTU MIREA (Moscow).
