The 20th Anniversary Seton tournament is a special thing near and dear to the hearts of those who have made it what it is today. You heard us mention in the prayer each night that this tournament supports Catholic Education in the Milwaukee Archdiocese. When the numbers are finalized this year we will have donated over $152,000 over the past 20 years to allow children the opportunity to attend Catholic schools. In addition, over $50,000 will have been donated to support the Foundation for Religious Retirement in the Milwaukee area. Thank you for supporting our efforts to accomplish this!

We also would like to acknowledge the founder of The Elizabeth Seton Volleyball Championships, who spent the first 10 years as Tournament Director: Mr. Tom M. It was his vision that led to hosting a tournament including both A and B teams in 3 different divisions to allow so many schools and teams to experience The Seton over the years. Thank you, Tom, and all of the original Seton Committee members, for giving us this legacy that we proudly carry forward.

1 amazing tournament!

Congratulations again to all 68 teams on your invitations, your competition, and to our champions!

To make this tournament run, many people have a hand in making The Seton what it is. As Tournament Director I would like to publicly thank:

Our ACES sponsors, Catholic Memorial High School, Milwaukee Sting Volleyball Club, and Radiology Waukesha for their generous financial support of the Seton Volleyball Tournament.

Our tournament host sites: The Milwaukee Sting Center and Catholic Memorial High School for being so welcoming and for the use of your wonderful facilities again this year!

Our official photographer Glen B. of TosaSportsPics—please see his link on this website under 2025 Pictures for action photos from each court the entire tournament and official photos of the Final Four teams.

Tournament Officials – all of our officials are WIAA certified and many have worked the HS boys or girls State Tournaments.

A big thank you to our scorekeepers (many of whom are Seton alumni)!

All the Seton Committee members, especially Assistant Tournament Directors Jeremy G. and Mark H. for their tireless efforts helping this tournament run for more than a decade!

Our Division Directors – Alex C. (Boys), Renee T. (Girls Division 2), and Michael B. (Girls Division 1) for their organization and helping coaches navigate the registration and check-in process.

Seton Committee Members Keri S., Craig P.,  Matt M., Jennifer D., and Evan O.

Jeff K. and the entire Corpus Christi Athletic Board for their help and support throughout the tournament.

Catholic Memorial HS & members of the CMH boys & girls volleyball programs for assisting with Final Four line judging.

The Catholic Memorial Booster Club for providing concessions at CMH.

The Milwaukee Sting Center for all of their help and logistical support, as well as running concessions during the weeknight matches.

All the Corpus Christi student & parent volunteers who helped in big and small ways throughout the tournament.

Everyone in the neon yellow shirts, the line judges, admissions workers, division directors, and our tournament committee members are all volunteers. All-tolled this year over 350 volunteer slots were filled totaling over 1800 volunteer hours to make this tournament run. Most of the key tournament committee members spent over 55 hours present on-site during the 7-day tournament. I truly appreciate all that each one has done to make this tournament be the special event that it is for all of the teams, coaches, schools, and families participating.

We appreciate all of the personal comments of appreciation, thank you notes, and online messages. We do this for the kids and to support the causes which this tournament supports.

Thank you for supporting our efforts and supporting all of the coaches, teams, and schools--without all of them this tournament does not happen.

Best of luck to all of the student athletes who participated in the tournament. We hope you made some wonderful memories and wish you the best of luck in high school!

We hope to see you all at The Seton in 2026!
