Hello! My name is Caroline Schwartz and I am the Head Coach of the Lane Tech Flag Football Team. In our second season we won the City Championship and the State Championship with over 100 teams in Illinois. I also teach Computer Science at Lane Tech.
I love football and I love Chicago. I grew up in the suburbs and have been a Bears fan my whole life. I did not have opportunities to play organized football until college, at the University of Illinois, where I played co-ed intramural flag football any chance I could get.
After college I moved to Texas and taught middle school science in Houston. I was the assistant tackle football coach for two years and then the head tackle football coach for the 7th/8th grade team. I moved back to Chicago in 2013 and started teaching High School at a charter school near Humboldt Park. There, I was the assistant Varsity Football coach, focusing on the receivers and backs, the Head Varsity Girls Basketball coach, and the Assistant Varsity Girls Soccer coach.
I currently live in Chicago and continue to play flag football in an all women’s league, our team is Game of Zones!
