MATTHEW SCHREINER

An alumnus of St. Viator High School (Arlington Heights, IL) and former swimmer and water polo player, Matthew attended Southampton College of Long Island University (NCAA DII)—where he saw his first lacrosse game. Immediately wanting to play this wild sport that looked to him like a wonderfully violent cross between hockey and soccer, he tried out as a walk-on, never having held a lacrosse stick before. With a determination to be the best conditioned athlete on the field, Matthew made the team and eventually became known for his speed, endurance, and lock-down defense. Matthew currently lives in Roselle, is a trainer at TriBalance Yoga & Fitness, coaches for NWS Lacrosse, and has recently completed his first novel.

He has many certifications which include but are not limited to Strength and Conditioning; Health and Fitness; Weight Lifting and Personal Training. Jim played Rugby for U of I and Lacrosse for Northern Illinois, Lakeshore Lacrosse, Fox Valley Lacrosse, Second City Lacrosse and he has his E-certification for soccer.

 Jim has been a coach for the Marian Central high school team for the last two years. Jim is the Head conditioning coach for the 
5/6 and 7/8 NWS Knights travel teams as well as the Assistant Coach for the 5/6 NWS Knights travel team.

ADAM TOLAN
Adam grew up on the North Side of Chicago. He later moved and went to Glenbrook North   High School where he played 3 years of Varsity Lacrosse as a Goalie and area All-Star. Adam helped develop the Lake Villa Timberwolves Lacrosse program. He also coached in the program.

Whether a brand new player or an experienced player, NWS LAX offers instruction, private lessons and travel team opportunities.

A player who joins the “NWS LAX Experience” will be exposed to coaches who have a passion for the sport with a focus on the personal development of an athlete both on and off the field.  Lacrosse, by the nature of the game and through the relationships that are developed, provides a lasting impression on a player's life that he carries throughout his life.

 "NWS LAX is not just a lacrosse company, it is a premier lacrosse experience."

Cancellations Due to Weather or acts of Nature

This EXCLUDES any indoor field event.  NWS LAX is charged for all times reserved at the indoor facility whether a game is played or not, unless it is the fault of the facility that we are not able to play.
