Zhetyssu is playing in Club Asian Championships. Because of injured Olga Nassedkina club decided to take Olga Karpova from VC Astana. I don't know what's with relegation system, but it's possible that Shingis will drop out of league.
In 2nd league (Vyzhshaya Liga A) lead Karaganda-2 - reserves of VC Karaganda (49, 16-4), 2nd is Almatinochka Almaty (46, 16-4), 3rd is Kostanay (44, 15-5).

No info about individual awards, some from the best players (most from Zhetyssu) should be called to Kazakh NT. Team will play in World Grand Prix, World Championships and Asian Cup.

Quote from USAvolleyfan

Is Sanchez allowed to play for NT. She has played last year or before that as Kaz 2nd team and they beat their first

Both Sanchez and Eglis Savin Terry weren't in NT in 2013, so maybe they'll be allowed to play there this year. Moreover both can find a place in NT because as far as I know Terry (S/OPP) didn't play in Cuban senior NT and Olga Drobyshevskaya (Ukrainian which was one of leading Wing-Spikers in Kazakh NT) disappeared from Kazakh volleyball league and she wasn't in last year in NT neither, so it gives even more chances for Sanchez if she wants to play in Kazakh NT
