Participants in the competition that was organized by Paravolley Kenya were drawn from seven counties including Nakuru, Bungoma, Uasin Gishu, Kisumu, Vihiga, Laikipia and Siaya.

For the third play-off in the tournament, Nakuru County men faced the Bungoma County team and won three sets against two sets and secured the third position. Siaya County team was crowned as the tournament champions after thrashing Uasin Gishu County with three sets to one in the finals.
