Hall of Fame
Chad Schreiber is among the institution’s best coaches, leading the creation of a powerhouse women’s volleyball program and serving as the architect for the nationally recognized men’s program.
In 16 seasons as Lakeland's head women's volleyball coach, the Muskies were 310-247 with eight conference championships and six trips to the NCAA Division III national tournament, tied for the best in school history among all programs.
In 2001, the women's program won its first Lake Michigan Conference championship since 1986, followed by Lakeland's inaugural NCAA tournament appearance in 2002 with a program-best 32-5 record. In 2002, Muskies became the first team in conference history to win every game of each conference match.
The program won five consecutive LMC titles from 2001-05 and made four straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 2002-05. Off the court, Chad’s teams won the National Team Award for Academic Excellence five times, and he coached numerous all-conference and all-region players.
Chad established Lakeland’s men's club volleyball program in 1996, and quickly guided the team to national prominence, winning the club national championship in 2008 and playing for the national title in three out of five seasons at one stretch. The program was ranked in the nation's top 25 for 11 consecutive seasons. In 2007, he was named National Coach of the Year by NIRSA.
A leader nationally in volleyball, Schreiber served as head coach of USA Volleyball's Badger Region boys youth national team and chair of the NCAA Division III Women's Volleyball and NCAA Midwest Regional committees.
He was one of eight memorable coaches featured during Lakeland's All-College Reunion as part of Lakeland’s 150th anniversary celebration in 2012. The same year, he was inducted into the Wisconsin Volleyball Conference Hall of Fame.
