Welcome to the 2026 lacrosse season! We are extremely excited and proud to have Head Coach Jeff Schwartz and his outstanding coaching staff guiding our program (on and off the field) this year. Across the board at PVI, we are blessed to have so many dedicated and decorated coaches leading our student-athletes. These coaches teach accountability, understand, encourage academic success, support each other’s programs, and work hard to build great teams based on faith. Coaches who are “teachers” and Christian leaders with character and integrity make a tremendous difference in our children’s lives. Teaching our student-athletes to be respectful and accountable teaches them to succeed in life. We are also extremely fortunate to have a dedicated support network from our alumni, boosters, parents, school staff, and community. No doubt about it...PVI is truly a special place.
It is critical to recognize athletics’ value as an essential part of the educational process. More importantly, remember that our sports programs at PVI are an extension of our mission and ministry. As a college preparatory school, we strive to run college prep athletic programs so that our student-athletes who can combine the right amounts of ability and desire can move to the next level thanks to the PVI athletic experience. At the same time, a significant focus of our athletic program is to help our student-athletes to develop lasting life skills to use as they move on in college, in a career, as productive members of society, as husbands and wives, and as parents. When you surround your child with the gospel, discipline, integrity, and truth, you can make a difference in their life forever. That is the core of our mission. It is easier to build boys and girls than mend men and women.
Finally, I would like to remind all our spectators to be “good sports.” Be a fan but allow our coaches to coach and let the players play. Let us create a positive environment for all involved: one where student-athletes and parents get the most from their experiences; one where winning is not the only thing; one where opponents and officials are not taunted or humiliated. We want an environment where the emphasis is on positive relationships and learning essential life lessons through hard work, competition, and faith.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve as Director of Athletics at PVI. Our community’s sense of togetherness humbles me. We are genuinely ONE TEAM! #TeamPVI

PVI BOYS LACROSSE GAME DAY GUIDE 2026
MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL
Dear PVI Lacrosse Community,
As lacrosse season starts, I am reminded of the years I sat in the stands watching my sisters, brother, and nephew play lacrosse. (I also played for a brief time, but could only catch on my left side, which meant that I was better off in the stands!) It is a game of speed, bumps, stick skills, finesse, and mud, and I look forward to being in the stands once again, this time to cheer on our talented boys’ lacrosse team. Under the leadership of our head coach, Jeff Schwartz, I have no doubt it will be an exciting and rewarding season!
At PVI, the coaches and the Athletic Department staff work tirelessly to create a program that combines the many facets of our Catholic mission — a quality, educational environment that prepares students to face any challenges that come their way. All students at PVI must balance academics and any extracurricular activities, including athletics. They are scholar athletes first and foremost — shining examples of growth and success and of through discipline, hard work, and teamwork.
Positive support under the responsibility of good sportsmanship is expected of all students, fans, and guests. A good rule of conduct should be to let each participant do the job he or she has been trained to do: players play, coaches coach, referees judge, and fans cheer in a positive manner.
It is my constant prayer that God watches over all who walk the halls, the courts, and the fields of PVI. May the spring lacrosse season bring success and safety for all! Go Panthers!
Peace and blessings,
Laura Swenson Head of School

Jeff Schwartz
Head Coach
Paul VI Boys Varsity Lacrosse
Coach Jeff Schwartz enters his third season as head coach in 2026, building on the strong foundation and momentum established during his first two years at the helm. Coach Schwartz served as an offensive and defensive volunteer assistant at PVI under former Panther coach, Bob Waters. Coach Schwartz helped lead the Panthers to a 2018 VISSA championship. Coach Schwartz brings 10+ years of experience coaching at all levels of lacrosse to Paul VI. Coach Schwartz notes, “I could not be more grateful to be a part of the PVI Panther family. I’m excited to enable a brand of lacrosse of which the community can be proud. I can’t wait to get to work.”
Coach Schwartz started his playing career as a 3-sport athlete at Tabor Academy in Marion, MA graduating in 2007. He went on to play at the University of Lynchburg as a Face-Off Specialist earning two All ODAC honors. His leadership skills were honed as a 2-time captain prior to graduating in 2012. Coach Schwartz stayed at Lynchburg, beginning his coaching career as a Graduate Assistant Coach helping lead the Hornets to an Old Dominion Athletic Conference Championship game berth and a trip to the NCAA Quarterfinals.
After leaving Lynchburg, Coach Schwartz moved to Israel to serve as the head coach of Israel’s Men’s National team. He served in this role for more than a year and led the Blue and White to a silver medal in the European Championships in 2016. Coach Schwartz remained on Israel’s coaching staff as a defensive assistant and defensive coordinator through the 2018 and 2023 World Championships. Coach Schwartz continues to work with Team Israel and remains the defensive coordinator on staff.
Coach Schwartz’s success and drive isn’t limited to the lacrosse field. In addition to being an effective Area VP of North American Sales for Gartner, Inc., Coach Schwartz is completing a Master’s degree in Applied Sport Psychology, combining his experience on the field with a background in mental strength training. Coach has deeply rooted connections to collegiate coaches and experience on both sides of the recruiting process.
When Coach Schwartz has some free time, he enjoys participating in CrossFit and triathlons (not at the same time) and hanging out with his wife Amanda, adorable 3-year-old son, Ethan and his beautiful 1-year-old daughter, Mia.
