Green Bay welcomed some of Wisconsin's top high school volleyball teams November 4-7 for the 2026 WIAA State Boys and Girls Volleyball Tournament at the Resch Center. Over four days of competition, teams from across the state took the court, bringing athletes, coaches, families, and fans together for a weekend of championship volleyball.
A Championship Weekend at the Resch Center
The tournament featured competition across five girls divisions and the boys division, with teams competing for six state championship titles.
Local teams were among those making their mark on the tournament. Bay Port advanced to the Division 1 girls championship match, finishing as state runner up to Divine Savior Holy Angels. Green Bay N.E.W. Lutheran also represented the area, reaching the Division 5 girls semifinals.
Championship titles went to Middleton in the boys division and Divine Savior Holy Angels, Xavier, Watertown Luther Prep, McDonell Catholic, and Central Wisconsin Christian in the five girls divisions.
A Venue Built for Big Events
The Resch Center provided the stage for the four day tournament. Opened in 2002, the 10,500-seat multipurpose arena regularly hosts sporting events, concerts, family entertainment, and more.
Located directly across from Lambeau Field and connected to the adjoining Resch Expo, the arena sits in the heart of Green Bay's stadium district. Its versatility and location make it an ideal setting for events that bring together competitors and spectators from across the state and beyond.
