In 1984, on the basis of the sports faculty of the Belgorod State Pedagogical Institute (now Belgorod State University ), the volleyball team "Teacher" was formed. Until 1992, she played in the second league of the All-Union Championship , and in the 1992/93 season, taking 4th place in the 1st league of the Russian championship , she received the right to upgrade.

In 1993, the White Stars volleyball club was formed, under the patronage of which the Teacher team passed, changing its name to club. Under the “star” name, Belgorod volleyball players in the 1993/94 season started in the Premier League “B” of the Russian Championship , where they took 8th place. The following season, the team was among the participants in the volleyball championship in the united major league. The debut in the elite was not very successful for the White Stars - only the 11th place and the next two championships the team held a lower class (after the formation of the Super League, the Premier League became the second Russian division).

The team spent the 1996/97 season under a new name - “University” and, taking third places in the major league and the transition tournament, won a ticket to the Russian Women's Volleyball Super League. Here the team from Belgorod at first did not win laurels - 9th, 7th and 8th places, respectively, in 1998 , 1999 and 2000 , but the team’s game (especially in the 1999/2000 championship) showed that success was not far off. The “University” has a stable core of the basic structure, experienced team headed by Raisa Popova . And in the next season, Belgorod was expecting a real breakthrough - 2nd place in the Russian championship . The next two seasons, "University" again rises to the podium, and in 2004 becomes 4th. It should be noted that the team held three “prize” championships with an almost unchanged composition, which included Svetlana Levina, Alexandra Korukovets , Galina Papazova, Larisa Yakunina, Elena Sysunina and Elena Sycheva. But in the future, such an excessive game load on a limited number of players, which led to injuries, the lack of full reserves and large funding problems led to a sharp drop in results. In the 2004/2005 season, the team became only 9th, and in the next - it completely took the last place, having won only two victories for the entire championship.

In 2006, the University moved into the structure of the Lokomotiv-Belogorye Volleyball Club and changed its name to the University-Belogorye . All this was not slow to affect the results. The season 2006/07, the team spent in the Premier League “A” of the Russian championship and confidently took 1st place, regaining their registration in the elite of women's Russian volleyball.
