Competition format Because of preparation of some of the players for the London Olympics, this season will not have an "Apertura and Clausura" format, instead it will only have one tournament with two round-robyn rounds. The 2011–12 season started on November 16, 2011, was expected to conclude in April 2012.Federación Peruana de Voleibol : LNSV 2011-12
First stage The first round is a Round-Robyn system where all 12 teams will play once against the other 11, due to preparation of some of the players for the London Olympics, and because the league couldn't get 14 first division teams to sign, this round will serve as the Apertura round.

Controversy Géminis qualified to the 2012 South American Club Championship, however the club declined to go.
Universidad San Martín as second best was invited to go, the team accepted; however the club also declined to go just a week before the competition. Cenaida Uribe, team manager quoted that since the club was not the winning team of the season, they were not given information about the Continental Club Championship.
So far, either the FPV or the LNSV has officially spoken about the qualification of Peruvian teams to the Club Championship and/or how to prevent this from happening again.
