Michael Saeta blossomed as a star player in the French Professional Leagues and set his Chaumont team to great heights in his two years there. A graduate of UC Irvine where he was an AVCA All-American, Michael is a member of the USA National Team. He played in the prestigious 2019 World Cup for Team USA. A top setter in Europe, he is also known for his incredible left-handed serve. Ken Shibuya states, “We are extremely fortunate to have Michael as one of our instructors this year. This young man has been a winner at every level he has played and made himself into a top professional. Young players will learn a lot from Michael as he has played as an opposite and a setter for his college team. One of the most spectacular second contact attackers we’ve ever seen.”
