From February 28 to March 15, the annual classic volleyball tournament for student teams took place in St. Petersburg gyms. The competition, which has now become a well-established tradition, attracted a record number of participants and provided fans with numerous exciting moments. The tournament was traditionally held in three stages: qualifying rounds, the main stage, and the final.
In 2026, 45 teams from various departments, headquarters, and universities across the city applied. In total, over 360 people participated in the games. The numbers speak for themselves: interest in the tournament is growing year after year.
Following the intense competition, the teams from the Polytechnic University confidently took the first two places.

The team once again demonstrated their high level of skill, defeating strong opponents. 2nd place went to the student agricultural team "Astra," which put on a great performance and finished just slightly behind the leaders.
Particular mention was made of those players whose skill was demonstrated throughout the tournament.
Best setter: Valeria Pushkareva from the Astra Sports Club; Best hitter: Leonid Myasoedov from the Molot Sports Club; Best server: Nikita Zelenov from the Astra Sports Club.
The atmosphere at the games was incredible: fans actively supported their teams with posters and chants. After the matches, participants shared experiences, discussed tactics, and simply had a good time among like-minded people. The tournament once again proved that student teams aren't just about hard work, but also about a vibrant, action-packed sports life.
