1976-1991

The women's volleyball team "Technologist" was formed on the basis of the Chelyabinsk Polytechnic Institute (now - South Ural State University ) in 1972 and for 4 years participated in student competitions. In 1976 it was renamed Polytechnic , and in the 1976/77 season it made its debut in the 1st league of the USSR Championship and took 3rd place. From the moment of foundation until 1994, Anatoly Makagonov worked as a team coach.

The subsequent 5-season debut, Chelyabinsk Polytechnic (in 1980 - “Technologist” ) held in the 1st league of the All-Union Championship and only in 1982 , taking 3rd place in the transition tournament, received a ticket to the top volleyball division. In the major league, the best result of the Chelyabinsk team (where it played for 6 consecutive seasons) was the 6th place, which it took in 1985 . In 1988 , Polytechnic took the last place and left the ranks of the strongest Russian women's volleyball teams, but after two seasons he returned already under a new name - ChMS (Chelyab Metallurg S troy) . In 1991, the team repeated its best result in the allied championships - 6th place.

1991-2007

In the 1991/92 season, the ChMS debuted in the major league of the Russian championship and took 6th place. In 1993, the team again changed its name, becoming "Metarom" (short for Meta- liturgical region) . After the formation of the Super League (1995/1996 season), Metar became a part of it. It should be noted that over the course of six seasons (1993-1998) the Chelyabinsk club was invariably one of the five best teams following the results of Russian championships . In addition, during this period, Metar three times became the owner of the Cup of Russia - in 1993, 1996 and 1997. From 1994 to 2001, the head coach of the team was Nikolai Sorogin.

In the 1998/99 season, the outcome of Metara’s performance in the Russian Championship was a failure: last, 12th place. And although next year the team again returned to the Super League, but only for the season. 11th place in 2001 and again relegation to the big leagues. After that, “Metar” was headed by one of the most famous Chelyabinsk volleyball players Elena Volkova (Kundaleva). With her, Chelyabinsk became the second in the major league tournament and next year they managed to stay among the best Russian teams, becoming 11 of 13 teams.

In the 2003/04 season, playing coach Elena Yurina became the head of the team, but this step was unsuccessful. In December, Vladimir Kuzyutkin , the future head coach of the Russian women's team, took over the team, but because of a conflict with the club’s leadership, he left the team in February and was headed by Sergey Ovchinnikov as the head coach of Avtodor-Metar. He failed to correct the situation as soon as possible and the Chelyabinsk team left the Super League. The coaching leapfrog (for 5 seasons as 6 specialists served as head coaches) stopped at the club for a while, and Ovchinnikov got the opportunity to work quietly for two seasons, while supporting the aspiration of the club’s leadership to focus practically on their pupils. Having solved the problem of returning to the Super League, the coach accepted the offer of Dynamo Moscow, where in the summer he became an assistant to Dmitry Fomin. And the team was headed by Evgeny Lapshin, who had experience in the WFV system.

Since the 2006/07 season, Avtodor-Metar has again been among the strongest Russian women's teams. Under the leadership of Yevgeny Lapshin, Chelyabinsk volleyball players became 9th in the championship , but in December 2007 Lapshin was fired, and the next change of head coach does not bring any benefit to the team: it takes only the 12th (penultimate) place in the next championship. Only the cessation of the CSKA team helped Chelyabinsk maintain its place in the Super League.

2008-2009

Before the start of the season the composition of Avtodor-Metar has changed significantly. A number of leading volleyball players left the team. The main acquisition was Anastasia Kodirova (Belikova), who returned in December 2008 to Chelyabinsk from Uralochka-NTMK . The head coach was the elder of the coaching corps of Russia Anatoly Makagonov .

Until the last rounds, Avtodor-Metar claimed to be in the playoff zone, but the not very successful ending of the preliminary stage did not allow Chelyabinsk volleyball players to rise above 10th place. The team took part in the consolation tournament for 9-12 places, where they won in four out of six games.

2009—2010

The performance of Chelyabinsk volleyball players in the Russian Championship 2009/2010 was one of the main discoveries of the season. Contrary to the opinion of most experts who predicted the team would part with the Super League, who had lost many strong Avtodor-Metar players in the offseason from the start of the championship, he settled at the top of the tournament table and finished the preliminary stage in 4th place. Only an unsuccessful game with Uralochka-NTMK in the quarter-finals of the playoffs did not allow the team to compete for medals. The result - 6th place.

2010—2011

In the off-season, Avtodor-Metar lost the binder and the team captain Yevgeny Startsev , who transferred to the Krasnodar Dynamo. Yulia Sedova , previously attracted to performances for the Russian national team, also went on maternity leave . For health reasons, Anatoly Makagonov left the post of head coach. Igor Filishtinsky became the team's mentor, but after the unsuccessful start of Avtodor-Metar in the championship he was dismissed. The new coach Petr Khilko was not able to adequately balance the composition and establish game connections during the season. The result is only 10th place.

2011-2012

The Chelyabinsk team started the new season by tradition with a new mentor. They became the most experienced Viktor Bardok, who was forced to leave the post during the season due to health problems. He was replaced by Andrei Yeremeyev, who was part of the Dynamo Kazan Kazan coaching staff. From the very start of the championship Avtodor-Metar settled in the basement of the tournament table, which it managed to leave, taking the penultimate 11th place and losing registration in the Super League.

2012—2014

Avtodor-Metar spent two seasons in the Premier League “A”. And if in the first of them almost only young local pupils played for the Chelyabinsk team, then the second team significantly strengthened and, having seized the leadership from the first rounds, Chelyabinsk volleyball players confidently finished in first place, regaining their place in the Super League.

2014—2018

In the championship of Russia 2014/2015 Avtodor-Metar played in the Super League. Almost the entire season the team was chased by financial troubles, which nevertheless did not prevent Chelyabinsk from reaching the playoffs, where in the first round they lost to Dynamo Kazan .

In July 2015, the club’s management announced that Avtodor-Metar was leaving the Super League and moving to the Premier League “B” - the third most important division of the Russian women's volleyball, after which almost all the main players left the team. And yet, in early August, after a meeting of the legislative assembly of the Chelyabinsk region, it was decided that the team would continue to perform in the Super League ^[1] . At the same time, the Chelyabinsk team was returned its historical name “Metar” , and the head of the administration of the Metallurgical region of Chelyabinsk, Dmitry Petrov, was appointed the new president of the club, replacing Viktor Tupikin, Minister of Construction and Infrastructure of the Chelyabinsk Region ^[2] .

Championship 2015-2016 for a sharply rejuvenated team was very difficult. Over the entire season, Metar won only 2 victories in 20 matches and took 10th (penultimate) place. The same place, but already becoming the last Chelyabinsk volleyball players took the next season , winning only twice in 21 matches, although one of these two victories fell over Dynamo Moscow with a score of 3: 1. At the same time, the capital’s athletes were in this match almost the main composition.

In the offseason, the team was renamed Dynamo Metar .

The next championship of Russia (2017-2018, the team from Chelyabinsk started unsuccessfully, which led to a change of mentor. Dmitry Dyakov was moved to the post of head coach, and the 85-year-old founder of the team Anatoly Vladimirovich Makagonov, who became the oldest acting coach of Russia, was appointed as the main one for the third time Possessing modest gaming capabilities, Dynamo-Metar claimed to be in the playoffs zone until the last moment, but spectacular losses at the start prevented Chelyabinsk from completing this task.
