Each team as well as the host side will be assigned into a pool according to their previous ranking (2017 Asian Girls' U18 Volleyball Championship). As the three best-ranked teams will be drawn in the same Pool A, the next best three will contest Pool B, the next best three will contest Pool C. Pool D will comprise teams finishing next best four teams.[2]
